Will energy storage grow in 2024?

Allison Weis, Global Head of Energy Storage at Wood Mackenzie Another record-breaking year is expected for energy storage in the United States (US), with Wood Mackenzie forecasting 45% growth in 2024 after 100% growth from 2022 to 2023.

What is the future of energy storage?

Renewable penetration and state policies supporting energy storage growth Grid-scale storage continues to dominate the US market, with ERCOT and CAISO making up nearly half of all grid-scale installations over the next five years.

How many GW will the storage industry deploy in 2024?

Across all segments, the industry is expected to deploy 12.8 GW/ 36.9 GWh in 2024. The grid-scale segment is projected to increase 32% year-over-year with 11 GW/32.7 GWh deployed by year-end, and 62 GW cumulatively from 2024-2028. Over the next five-years,12 GW of distributed storage will be deployed.

How much new energy storage has been added in 2020?

During 2020, 1,464 MW/3,487 MWh of new storage was added in the US, which is about 180 per cent more than that added in 2019 in MW terms (at 523 MW) [as per a report by Wood Mackenzie and Energy Storage Association (ESA)]. This has been largely supported by the fall in prices as well as strong policy support both at the federal and state level.

How much energy storage will the US have in 2025?

Market forecasts indicate that the country’s installed energy storage capacity will reach about 4 GW by end-2021 and further to 7 GW in 2025. This would thereby facilitate the ESA’s target of deploying 100 GW of new energy storage in the US by 2030.

Why do we need more energy storage in the US?

It is rather serving as a means to holding up the country’s economic prospects. During 2020, 1,464 MW/3,487 MWh of new storage was added in the US, which is about 180 per cent more than that added in 2019 in MW terms (at 523 MW) [as per a report by Wood Mackenzie and Energy Storage Association (ESA)].
