Core Viewpoint - Shanghai is actively promoting the development of energy storage systems through various measures, including planning guidance, land security, market mechanism construction, and safety regulation [1][3][4]. Group 1: Current Status and Future Plans - Shanghai currently has an energy storage capacity of approximately 30MW/70MWh, with plans to develop 8 independent energy storage projects by 2025, totaling 414.5MW/1478MWh [1]. - The city aims to enhance energy storage development by utilizing retired energy facility sites and reserved offshore wind power land for independent energy storage stations [1][5]. Group 2: Land Security Measures - Independent energy storage projects will be prioritized for land use as public facilities, especially at sites of retired energy facilities [5][6]. - The city encourages the integration of energy storage with existing thermal power plants and user-side storage projects without requiring new land acquisition, subject to local approval [5][6]. Group 3: Market Mechanism and Policy Support - The city supports independent energy storage as a standalone entity in the current electricity market, while thermal and user-side storage will participate alongside their respective users [2][7]. - A phased capacity compensation mechanism is being explored to share the costs of energy storage capacity, with future adjustments based on national pricing policies [2][7]. Group 4: Safety Management - Shanghai has established safety management guidelines for electrochemical energy storage stations, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive regulatory framework [3][8]. - The city aims to strengthen safety oversight by integrating energy storage into the electricity safety regulatory framework and clarifying departmental responsibilities [7][8].
