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%.
Allison leads our global research into energy storage. The global energy storage market had a record-breaking 2024 and continues to see significant future growth and technological advancement. As countries across the globe seek to meet their energy transition goals, energy storage is critical to ensuring reliable and stable regional power markets.
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.”
This is evident in many of the world’s leading regional energy storage markets, such as California, the UK and Texas’ ERCOT market, where average durations are in the range of 2- to 4-hour durations today versus perhaps an hour or less just a couple of years ago.
Globally, energy storage project development is increasingly driven by the utility-scale segment, with mandates and targeted auctions driving gigawatt-hour projects in markets like China, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Australia and Chile.
Storage is being sought as capacity – including through capacity markets – in countries as diverse as Japan, Poland, Chile, the UK, Australia and regional US markets in the Southwest and New York, Helen Kou wrote on the company’s blog.
