Global installed energy storage capacity by scenario, 2023 and 2030 - Chart and data by the International Energy Agency.
Worldwide electricity storage operating capacity totals 159,000 MW, or about 6,400 MW if pumped hydro storage is excluded. The DOE data is current as of February 2020 (Sandia 2020). Pumped hydro makes up 152 GW or 96% of worldwide energy storage capacity operating today.
To support the global transition to clean electricity, funding for development of energy storage projects is required. Pumped hydro, batteries, hydrogen, and thermal storage are a few of the technologies currently in the spotlight.
Other storage includes compressed air energy storage, flywheel and thermal storage. Hydrogen electrolysers are not included. Global installed energy storage capacity by scenario, 2023 and 2030 - Chart and data by the International Energy Agency.
Flywheels and Compressed Air Energy Storage also make up a large part of the market. The largest country share of capacity (excluding pumped hydro) is in the United States (33%), followed by Spain and Germany. The United Kingdom and South Africa round out the top five countries. Figure 3. Worldwide Storage Capacity Additions, 2010 to 2020
Developing energy storage has become a global consensus. It was announced at COP29 in late 2024 that global storage capacity will increase to 1,500 GW by 2030, more than six times the 2022 level. As a result, InfoLink maintains a cautiously optimistic outlook for the medium- to long-term development of energy storage systems.
Although an estimated 1.6 GW of grid-tied energy storage has to date been installed in Africa, 1.4 GW of it comes from large pumped hydro storage. During the forecast period, South Africa is expected to be the largest market in the region for energy storage.
