How many electrochemical storage stations are there in 2022?

In 2022, 194 electrochemical storage stations were put into operation, with a total stored energy of 7.9GWh. These accounted for 60.2% of the total energy stored by stations in operation, a year-on-year increase of 176% (Figure 4).

Will the inflation reduction act of 2022 change energy storage?

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 enacted a wide range of legislation. Specific to energy storage, the act’s changes to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, have the potential to be a game-changer for the energy storage industry in the United States. Efforts to electrify the US transportation sector are strong—and growing.

How big will electrochemical energy storage be by 2027?

Based on CNESA’s projections, the global installed capacity of electrochemical energy storage will reach 1138.9GWh by 2027, with a CAGR of 61% between 2021 and 2027, which is twice as high as that of the energy storage industry as a whole (Figure 3).

What are the trends in energy storage?

Trends in energy storage around the globe include regulations and initiatives in the European Union, incentives in Türkiye, and the UK government’s push for new energy storage projects. In recent years, the United States has enacted significant legislation that will spur greater development of domestic renewable energy resources.

Do we need energy storage solutions?

“We need energy storage solutions to make them permanent,” says researcher and electric battery expert Philippe Knauth in an interview for bbva.com. He also points out that the democratization of energy depends on “the combination of renewable energies and energy storage.”

Will the energy storage industry thrive in the next stage?

The energy storage industry is going through a critical period of transition from the early commercial stage to development on a large scale. Whether it can thrive in the next stage depends on its economics.
