US energy storage set a Q1 record in 2025 with 2 GW added, but looming policy changes could put that growth at serious risk.
While power demand is expected to continue to see strong growth in 2025 and beyond, the growth rate of low-carbon energy sources is now close to covering the entire demand increase. Global installed energy storage is on a steep upward trajectory.
In this blog, we''ll cover what is driving the unprecedented growth of the energy storage sector, address challenges the industry needs to navigate, and show how energy storage unlocks major opportunities for businesses and communities.
The need to co-optimize storage with other elements of the electricity system, coupled with uncertain climate change impacts on demand and supply, necessitate advances in analytical tools to reliably and efficiently plan, operate, and regulate power systems of the future.
To support the global transition to clean electricity, funding for development of energy storage projects is required. Pumped hydro, batteries, hydrogen, and thermal storage
South Korea''s LG Energy Solution has signed a $4.3 billion deal to supply Tesla with energy storage system batteries, said a person familiar with the matter, as the U.S. company looks to reduce...
3 天之前· Latest news on energy storage projects, BESS, capacity expansion, and regulatory updates across Europe, US & Canada, Latin America, and Asia Pacific. Discover how energy storage solutions support renewable energy integration and grid transition to clean power.
The global energy storage market is poised to hit new heights yet again in 2025. Despite policy changes and uncertainty in the world''s two largest markets, the US and China, the sector continues to grow as developers push forward with larger and larger utility-scale projects.
Zhangjiakou, a major renewable energy hub in northern China, is fast-tracking the construction of a 10-gigawatt-scale energy storage base, anchored by pumped hydro and supported by electrochemical, compressed air, and flywheel storage technologies.

Potentia Energy, a joint venture co-owned by Enel Green Power and INPEX, has secured the first environmental approval for a grid-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) under South Australia''s new Hydrogen and Renewable Energy (HRE) Act.
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%.
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.
The Q1 2025 results demonstrate the demand for energy storage in the US to serve a grid with both growing renewables and growing load,” said Allison Weis, global head of energy storage at Wood Mackenzie. “However, the industry stands at a crossroads, with potential policy changes threatening to disrupt this momentum.”
Energy storage is a potential substitute for, or complement to, almost every aspect of a power system, including generation, transmission, and demand flexibility. Storage should be co-optimized with clean generation, transmission systems, and strategies to reward consumers for making their electricity use more flexible.
“We’re now seeing significant deployment in emerging markets like Indiana, while states across the Southwest like Nevada and Arizona continue to expand their energy storage portfolio,” said Noah Roberts, VP of Energy Storage at ACP. Residential storage also set a new record, with 458 MW installed in Q1, the most ever in a single quarter.
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.
