How will global electricity storage capacity grow in 2026?

Addressing global electricity storage capabilities, our forecast expects them to increase by 40% to reach almost 12 TWh in 2026, with PSH accounting for almost all of it. India dominates storage capability expansion by commissioning over 2.5 TWh (80% of the expansion) thanks to projects using existing large reservoirs.

How much energy storage capacity does the energy storage industry have?

New operational electrochemical energy storage capacity totaled 519.6 MW/855.0 MWh (note: final data to be released in the CNESA 2020 Energy Storage Industry White Paper). In 2019, overall growth in the development of electrical energy storage projects slowed, as the industry entered a period of rational adjustment.

How big are energy storage projects?

By the end of 2019, energy storage projects with a cumulative size of more than 200MW had been put into operation in applications such as peak shaving and frequency regulation, renewable energy integration, generation-side thermal storage combined frequency regulation, and overseas energy storage markets.

How has grid-side energy storage changed the world?

Xia Qing, Professor of Electrical Engineering, Tsinghua University: The takeoff of grid-side energy storage in 2018 injected new vitality into the whole market, not only bringing new points of growth, but also driving a reduction of costs for energy storage technologies and guiding technologies towards a direction more suited to the power system.

Why is energy storage important?

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.

Should energy storage be included in the cost of transmission and distribution?

Such are the basic conditions for energy storage to be included in the cost of transmission and distribution of electricity. Energy storage is of vital importance to the energy transition. The opening of the power market can help elevate energy storage to become a natural core part of the power market.
