The demand for energy storage continues

Will energy storage demand surge in 2024?

According to TrendForce's estimates, the surge in demand for large-scale commercial and industrial energy storage in 2024 is set to fuel substantial growth in the global energy storage sector. In terms of installation increments, both domestic and international markets are poised to experience a surge in demand.

Why is storage demand increasing?

Storage demand continues to escalate, driven by the pressing need to decarbonise economies through renewable integration on the grid and by load increases from data centre demand, manufacturing and increased electrification.

How big is the demand for large-scale energy storage?

TrendForce predicts that new installations of large-scale energy storage in the United States could reach 11.6GW/38.2GWh. The primary driving force behind the demand for large-scale energy storage is the weak grid integration and a higher proportion of solar and wind power.

What is the future of energy storage?

In terms of installation increments, both domestic and international markets are poised to experience a surge in demand. It is anticipated that the installation of large-scale energy storage could reach 53GW/128.6GWh, outpacing the installed capacity of household, commercial, and industrial energy storage.

Will energy storage growth continue through 2025?

With developers continuing to add new capacity, including 9.2 GW of new lithium-ion battery storage capacity in 2024 through November 2024 and comparable levels of growth expected through the fourth quarter of 2024, energy storage investments and M&A activity are expected to continue this trajectory through 2025.

How much energy storage will the world have in 2022?

New York, October 12, 2022 – Energy storage installations around the world are projected to reach a cumulative 411 gigawatts (or 1,194 gigawatt-hours) by the end of 2030, according to the latest forecast from research company BloombergNEF (BNEF). That is 15 times the 27GW/56GWh of storage that was online at the end of 2021.
