Energy storage themes that will explode next week

What will the battery energy storage industry look like in 2025?

This year the battery energy storage industry is poised for further innovation, Connected Energy explores the key themes that we expect to see in 2025. The demand for clean energy is soaring across the globe, fuelled by ambitious net-zero goals, increasing renewable energy adoption, and the transition to electric vehicles.

What's happening with energy storage in 2024?

The start of 2024 saw the Edwards & Sanborn project, featuring 3,287MWh of battery storage alongside 864MW of solar PV, come fully online. Image: Terra-Gen As we welcome the end of another exciting, if sometimes challenging year, here are the most-read news stories on Energy-Storage.news for 2024.

Why is energy storage important?

And more. The global energy storage market had a record-breaking 2024 and continues to see significant future growth and technological advancement. As countries across the globe seek to meet their energy transition goals, energy storage is critical to ensuring reliable and stable regional power markets.

When will battery energy storage systems (Bess) become more popular?

2024 was a record year for deployment of battery energy storage systems (BESS). We predict even higher implementation in 2025. A marked increase in the availability and use of second life batteries within the energy storage sector with EV manufacturers seeking to maximise the value of batteries.

Is energy storage transforming the energy system?

The transformation is clear – energy storage has established its role in the energy system and is moving to mainstream adoption. By 2025, global energy storage capacity is expected to exceed 500 GWh, driven by renewable energy integration, grid stabilisation needs and growing concerns about resilience.

How can energy storage support energy independence?

A marked increase in the availability and use of second life batteries within the energy storage sector with EV manufacturers seeking to maximise the value of batteries. A focus on the role that energy storage can play in supporting energy independence and the exponential increase in renewables.
