2023 new energy battery energy storage

Is there more investment in battery storage in 2023?

In both the IEA ‘Special report on batteries and secure energy transitions,’ and the BloombergNEF H1 2024 edition of its ‘Global energy storage outlook’ report, a key takeaway is that there was more investment in battery storage worldwide than ever before during 2023.

Will energy storage grow in 2023?

Global energy storage’s record additions in 2023 will be followed by a 27% compound annual growth rate to 2030, with annual additions reaching 110GW/372GWh, or 2.6 times expected 2023 gigawatt installations. Targets and subsidies are translating into project development and power market reforms that favor energy storage.

How big is the battery market in 2023?

According to the IEA's Batteries and Secure Energy Transitions published on April 25, the global market for BESS doubled in 2023, reaching over 90 GWh and increasing the volume of battery storage in use to more than 190 GWh.

How many energy storage installations are there in 2023?

Meanwhile, BloombergNEF counted annual energy storage deployments in 2023—excluding pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) and therefore largely comprising battery storage installations—at 44GW/96GWh. BloombergNEF (BNEF) said that was roughly three times the amount tallied for 2022.

What is the total battery storage in use in the power sector in 2023?

In 2023, there were nearly 45 million EVs on the road – including cars, buses and trucks – and over 85 GW of battery storage in use in the power sector globally. Lithium-ion batteries have outclassed alternatives over the last decade, thanks to 90% cost reductions since 2010, higher energy densities and longer lifetimes.

What's happening in the energy storage sector in 2023?

A roundup of the biggest projects, financing and offtake deals in the energy storage sector that we have reported on this year. It’s been a positive year for energy storage in 2023, with new markets opening up and supply chain bottlenecks and price spikes for battery energy storage systems (BESS) easing, though challenges remain.
