BloombergNEF forecasts a record 94 GW (247 GWh) of utility-scale storage in 2025—a 35% rise—driven by China’s storage mandates. US tariffs, policy shifts and LFP dominance will drive growth to 220 GW/972 GWh by 2035. The global energy storage sector is on track for another record year in 2025 as utility-scale projects expand into new regions.
China aims to further develop its new energy storage capacity, which is expected to advance from the initial stage of commercialization to large-scale development by 2025, with an installed capacity of more than 30 million kilowatts, regulators said.
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.
The global energy storage sector is on track for another record year in 2025 as utility-scale projects expand into new regions. BloombergNEF (BNEF) forecasts that developers will add 94 gigawatts (247 gigawatt-hours) of battery capacity this year, a 35% increase over 2024 and the highest annual total to date (excluding pumped hydro).
Battery storage. In 2025, capacity growth from battery storage could set a record as we expect 18.2 GW of utility-scale battery storage to be added to the grid. U.S. battery storage already achieved record growth in 2024 when power providers added 10.3 GW of new battery storage capacity.
Highlights from the 2025 Energy Storage Report According to the NEA, 2024 saw the addition of 42.37 GW / 101 GWh in new NES capacity. The average storage duration rose to 2.3 hours, reflecting ongoing improvements in system design and grid integration.
