China encourages PV + storage Integration in high-power charging stations

China’s National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) and 3 other ministries have issued a notice promoting the scientific planning and construction of high-power EV charging infrastructure. The policy encourages the development of intelligent and orderly high-power charging hubs and calls for integrating PV generation and energy storage systems where feasible.

The document also outlines efforts to establish efficient interaction between charging stations and local distribution grids, optimize capacity planning for power access, and better utilize low-load periods in the grid. These measures aim to improve the grid’s ability to support large-scale, high-power EV charging stations.

NDRC, along with China’s National Forestry and Grassland Administration and NEA, issued a master plan for PV-driven desertification control across the ‘Three-North’ desert regions of China for the period covering 2025 to 2030 (see China Solar PV News Snippets).
