According to a forecast issued in 2023, the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region will lead the energy storage market in 2030, with almost 320 gigawatts deployed by that year.
Global installed energy storage capacity by scenario, 2023 and 2030 - Chart and data by the International Energy Agency.
As the world transitions to greener sources of power generation such as solar PV and wind, battery energy storage developments will be critical in meeting future energy demand. Global BESS capacity additions expanded 60% in 2022 over the previous year, with total new installations exceeding 43 GWh.
An estimated 387GW/1,143GWh of new energy storage capacity will be added globally from 2022 to 2030 -more than Japan''''s entire power generation capacity in 2020.
Meeting the 3XRenewables by 2030 and Paris Agreement goals require a six-fold increase in global energy storage capacity. Without a global energy storage target, the goals of tripling renewables by 2030 and meeting the Paris Agreement are at risk.
An estimated 387GW/1,143GWh of new energy storage capacity will be added globally from 2022 to 2030 – more than Japan''s entire power generation capacity in 2020.
Wood Mackenzie''s latest report shows global energy storage capacity could grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 31%, recording 741 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of cumulative capacity by 2030.
The total installed energy storage capacity that will be installed globally by the end of 2030 is predicted to be 20 times larger than what it was at the end of last year.
United States forecasts that consider state goals, utility integrated resource plans (IRPs), and industry expectations estimate energy storage capacity will more than double by 2030, much of which is expected to be contributed to BESS deployments.
Cumulative energy storage installations will go beyond the terawatt-hour mark globally before 2030 excluding pumped hydro, with lithium-ion batteries providing most of that capacity, according to new forecasts.
