Overview
Grid-scale batteries continued to scale rapidly across major power markets at the end of 2025. In Australia’s National Electricity Market, new solar and battery projects moved through commissioning and connection milestones, while China reported a sharp year-on-year rise in cumulative installed capacity of “new energy storage” technologies including lithium-ion.

Why now
- Australia’s Q4 2025 connections scorecard highlights end-of-year commissioning progress
- China’s end-December 2025 figures quantify the latest annual storage build-out
- Both updates land as power systems expand storage alongside renewables
Why it matters
- More grid-scale storage can help integrate variable renewables and support reliability
- Connection and commissioning throughput signals near-term capacity additions
- China’s scale-up underscores global momentum in battery deployment

Recurring claims
- Australia’s NEM saw nine generation and battery projects totaling 1.8 GW reach full output in Q4 2025, per AEMO.
- China’s cumulative installed capacity of new energy storage technologies (including lithium-ion) reached 144.7 GW by end-December 2025, up 85% year-on-year.
