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.
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%.
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.
The energy storage sector maintained its upward trajectory in 2024, with estimates indicating that global energy storage installations rose by more than 75%, measured by megawatt-hours (MWh), year-over-year in 2024 and are expected to go beyond the terawatt-hour mark before 2030.
“Energy storage has entered a new phase of growth with its first year of double-digit deployment. We are increasingly seeing the industry’s growth diversified across geographic regions, with 30% of storage capacity additions in Q4 2024 represented by New Mexico, Oregon, and Arizona,” said Kelsey Hallahan, ACP Sr. Director of Market Intelligence.
“After another year of record deployment, energy storage is solidifying its place as a leading solution for strengthening American energy security and grid reliability in a time of historic rising demand for electricity,” said ACP VP of Energy Storage Noah Roberts.
