What will energy storage be like in 2024?

In 2024, the global energy storage is set to add more than 100 gigawatt-hours of capacity for the first time. The uptick will be largely driven by the growth in China, which will once again be the largest energy storage market globally.

How much money will be allocated to storage projects in 2023?

Residential batteries are now the largest source of storage demand in the region and will remain so until 2025. Separately, over €1 billion ($1.1 billion) of subsidies have been allocated to storage projects in 2023, supporting a fresh pipeline of projects in Greece, Romania, Spain, Croatia, Finland and Lithuania.

Will energy storage grow in 2022?

Global energy storage’s record additions in 2022 will be followed by a 23% compound annual growth rate to 2030, with annual additions reaching 88GW/278GWh, or 5.3 times expected 2022 gigawatt installations. China overtakes the US as the largest energy storage market in megawatt terms by 2030.

How many gigawatts will energy storage add in 2024?

Last year’s record global additions of 45 gigawatts (97 gigawatt-hours) will be followed by continued robust growth. In 2024, the global energy storage is set to add more than 100 gigawatt-hours of capacity for the first time.

What drives energy storage investment?

Much of the growth in energy storage investment is being driven by mandates and targeted subsidies, ranging from solar and wind co-location mandates in China, to the Inflation Reduction Act and state-level policies in the US. New support schemes are also emerging across Europe, Australia, Japan, South Korea, and Latin America.

Will C&I use energy storage systems more?

But renewable energy isn't always a reliable source of power, and the C&I sector isn't making the most of these resources. So, the C&I sector is likely to use energy storage systems more and more to increase the amount of renewable energy it uses.
