Energy storage bank development trend

How big will energy storage capacity be in 2022?

An estimated 387 gigawatts (GW) (or 1,143 gigawatt hours (GWh)) of new energy storage capacity is expected to be added globally from 2022 to 2030, which would result in the size of global energy storage capacity increasing by 15 times compared to the end of 2021.

What is the future of energy storage?

Storage enables electricity systems to remain in balance despite variations in wind and solar availability, allowing for cost-effective deep decarbonization while maintaining reliability. The Future of Energy Storage report is an essential analysis of this key component in decarbonizing our energy infrastructure and combating climate change.

Why is energy storage important?

Energy storage is fundamental to stockpile renewable energy on a massive scale. The Energy Storage Program, a window of the World Bank’s Energy Sector Management Assistance Program’s (ESMAP) has been working to scale up sustainable energy storage investments and generate global knowledge on storage solutions.

What is the growth rate of industrial energy storage?

The majority of the growth is due to forklifts (8% CAGR). UPS and data centers show moderate growth (4% CAGR) and telecom backup battery demand shows the lowest growth level (2% CAGR) through 2030. Figure 8. Projected global industrial energy storage deployments by application

Why is energy storage financing so important?

The Energy Storage program’s concessional financing has been crucial in securing a total of $276 million through the Climate Investment Fund, the Green Climate Fund, and similar facilities to co-finance projects in Bangladesh, Burkina Faso, Cabo Verde, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Maldives, Ukraine, and Zanzibar.

What is the energy storage program?

The Energy Storage program provides operational support to clients by working with World Bank teams to advance the IDA20 Energy Policy Commitment of developing battery storage in at least 15 countries (including at least 10 fragile and conflict-affected situations).
