NEA deputy director Ge Ju said authorities will tap load flexibility from electric vehicles and air conditioners, roll out smart orderly charging and scale vehicle-to-grid (V2G) applications to expand virtual power plant (VPP) deployment, targeting at least 50 GW of VPP regulation capacity by 2030 and greater end-user participation in system balancing. On the storage side, the plan calls for building pumped hydro storage to about 160 GW of installed capacity by 2030 and accelerating new-type sto

On the storage side, the plan calls for building pumped hydro storage to about 160 GW of installed capacity by 2030 and accelerating new-type storage across multiple technology routes to roughly 300 GW of installed capacity by 2030.
