The South Australian Labor government has promised to establish Australia's first renewable energy storage target if returned at the March election.

The 25 per cent target by 2025 will drive the installation of 750 megawatts of battery storage, Premier Jay Weatherill said.

"More renewable energy means cheaper power for South Australians and energy storage is the key to delivering that low-cost electricity around the clock," Mr Weatherill said.
