Our survey found that today more than 2,000 Australians are directly employed in the energy storage sector. 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.
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.
CSIRO and Energy Networks Australia estimated that 1.5 million battery storage systems could be installed by 2020. The Smart Energy Council has developed three scenarios for uptake of energy storage – high, medium and low scenarios. We estimate that 150,000-450,000 energy storage systems could be installed by 2020.
As noted in this report, there are likely to be 150,000 to 450,000 battery storage systems installed in Australia by 2020. If the high growth scenario eventuates, the Finkel Review will be seen to have significantly underestimated the uptake of battery storage.
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.
