In its latest report, IHS Markit predicts that energy storage installations in Australia will grow from 500 MW to more than 12.8 GW by 2030.
Since the release of the report three years ago, there has been a range of energy storage projects progressed in Australia. For example, in 2017, a large-scale energy storage facility in South Australia was constructed using Tesla’s lithium-ion battery system, with excellent results.
The report identifies 55 Australian large-scale energy storage projects which are either existing, planned or proposed. Excluding pumped hydro, these represent over 4 GWh of storage. 9 gigawatts (GW) of capacity have been completed, planned or are in the pipeline. Of those, 19 have been completed and another 36 have reached financial close.
* The article was amended on June 1, 2021 to correct the figure 2.8 GW to 12.8 GW: “In its latest report, IHS Markit predicts that energy storage installations in Australia will grow from 500 MW to more than 12.8 GW by 2030.”
There is no national register of energy storage systems in Australia, making it difficult to estimate the number of energy storage systems. This analysis is based on existing Clean Energy Regulator data, a national survey by the Smart Energy Council, interviews with energy market participants and a comprehensive literature review.
Under a high growth scenario, around 450,000 energy storage systems could be installed by 2020. The combination of residential and commercial energy storage could deliver 3 gigawatt hours (GWh) of distributed storage by 2020. 7. The report identifies 55 Australian large-scale energy storage projects which are either existing, planned or proposed.
Under the high-growth scenario outlined in this report, more than 35,000 Australians could be working directly or indirectly in the energy storage industry in 2020. Under the low-growth scenario outlined in this report, around 20,000 Australians could be working directly or indirectly in energy storage in 2020.
