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%.
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.”
That makes Q1 2025 the biggest first quarter for energy storage in US history. The surge was led by utility-scale projects, which accounted for over 1.5 GW of the new capacity, a 57% jump compared to Q1 2024. Surging energy demand is putting the electric grid under strain,” said John Hensley, SVP of markets and policy analysis at ACP.
New materials and compounds are being explored for sodium ion, potassium ion, and magnesium ion batteries, to increase energy storage capabilities. Additional development methods, such as additive manufacturing and nanotechnology, are expected to reduce costs and accelerate market penetration of energy storage devices.
For energy storage, the new Chinese policy emphasized the need to remove energy storage as a prerequisite for renewable energy project grid connection, a requirement that has been a major driver for battery build. Nonetheless, BNEF still expects strong demand for batteries, as the policy doesn’t explicitly require mandates to stop.
