Global energy storage’s record additions in 2023 will be followed by a 27% compound annual growth rate to 2030, with annual additions reaching 110GW/372GWh, or 2.6 times expected 2023 gigawatt installations. Targets and subsidies are translating into project development and power market reforms that favor energy storage.
Stationary Energy Storage Failure Incidents – this table tracks utility-scale and commercial and industrial (C&I) failures. Other Storage Failure Incidents – this table tracks incidents that do not fit the criteria for the first table. This could include failures involving the manufacturing, transportation, storage, and recycling of energy storage.
Homes and businesses near the Valley Center Energy Storage Facility in California were evacuated this week and a shelter-in-place order was put into effect in the vicinity. Terra-Gen, the project’s owner, has issued a statement saying that the facility’s design systems contained the incident. From pv magazine USA
Residential batteries are now the largest source of storage demand in the region and will remain so until 2025. Separately, over €1 billion ($1.1 billion) of subsidies have been allocated to storage projects in 2023, supporting a fresh pipeline of projects in Greece, Romania, Spain, Croatia, Finland and Lithuania.
(Chart above corrected to present latest data on October 4, 2023.) BNEF clients can access the full report here. Three years into the decade of energy storage, deployments are on track to hit 42GW/99GWh, up 34% in gigawatt hours from our previous forecast.
We added 9% of energy storage capacity (in GW terms) by 2030 globally as a buffer. The buffer addresses uncertainties, such as markets where we lack visibility and where more ambitious policies may develop that we haven’t predicted. We revised our buffer calculation methodology in this market outlook.
