6 FAQs about [Humanity s demand for energy storage]
What is the future of energy storage?
Global installed energy storage is on a steep upward trajectory. From just under 0.5 terawatts (TW) in 2024, total capacity is expected to rise ninefold to over 4 TW by 2040, driven by battery energy storage systems (BESS). Last year saw a record-breaking 200 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of new BESS projects coming online, a growth rate of 80%.
Will 9% of energy storage capacity be added by 2030?
We added 9% of energy storage capacity (in GW terms) by 2030 globally as a buffer. The buffer addresses uncertainties, such as markets where we lack visibility and where more ambitious policies may develop that we haven’t predicted. We revised our buffer calculation methodology in this market outlook.
How will energy storage affect global electricity production?
Global electricity output is set to grow by 50 percent by mid-century, relative to 2022 levels. With renewable sources expected to account for the largest share of electricity generation worldwide in the coming decades, energy storage will play a significant role in maintaining the balance between supply and demand.
Should governments consider energy storage?
In the electricity sector, governments should consider energy storage, alongside other flexibility options such as demand response, power plant retrofits, or smart grids, as part of their long-term strategic plans, aligned with wind and solar PV capacity as well as grid capacity expansion plans.
How do we estimate future storage needs?
Current approaches to estimating future storage needs are challenged. Greater attention is needed to the temporality and spatiality of demand. There is a false equivalence between storage and demand side management. Patterns of demand are changing and matter to what is assumed for storage.
Where can energy storage be used for capacity services?
Markets are increasingly seeking energy storage for capacity services (including through capacity markets). Japan, Poland, the UK, Chile, the US Southwest, New York and Australia are new markets opening up these opportunities.
