National Guidance on Reasonable Allocation of User-Side Energy Storage for Big Data Centers and 5G Base Stations

【Two Departments: Reasonably allocate user-side energy storage based on the integrated mode of source-side network load and energy storage around big data centers, 5G base stations, industrial parks, and other terminal users】

The National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration issued guidance on strengthening the construction of peak-shifting energy storage and intelligent scheduling capabilities for the power grid. The guidance proposes that around big data centers, 5G base stations, industrial parks, and other terminal users, user-side energy storage should be reasonably allocated based on the integrated mode of source-side network load and energy storage, in order to improve user power supply reliability and the on-site consumption capacity of distributed new energy. It also explores the construction of user-side energy storage facilities such as uninterrupted power supply and electric vehicles, and promotes electric vehicles to participate in the regulation of the power system through orderly charging, vehicle-grid interaction, and exchange mode, thus tapping into the flexible regulation capabilities on the user side.
