Analysis of energy storage industry participants

What is the energy storage Grand Challenge?

This report, supported by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Energy Storage Grand Challenge, summarizes current status and market projections for the global deployment of selected energy storage technologies in the transportation and stationary markets.

What is China's energy storage capacity?

Of this global total, China’s operational energy storage project capacity comprised 33.1GW, a growth of 5.1% compared to Q3 of 2019. Both in the international market and the Chinese market, pumped hydro storage continued to account for the largest proportion of energy storage capacity totals.

Is Doe addressing the energy storage industry's challenges?

EAC conducted a months-long review of obstacles and challenges facing the energy storage industry to determine areas of pressure and pain, and to assess whether DOE was addressing these obstacles and challenges in its funding, policy, initiatives, and other efforts.

Should Doe conduct a macro-energy storage analysis?

DOE should conduct a macro-energy storage analysis to determine the power and duration of energy storage needed and where it is needed. This should be compared with the projected availability to assess whether it satisfies the needs and evaluates the cost associated with the needs.

What is the growth rate of industrial energy storage?

The majority of the growth is due to forklifts (8% CAGR). UPS and data centers show moderate growth (4% CAGR) and telecom backup battery demand shows the lowest growth level (2% CAGR) through 2030. Figure 8. Projected global industrial energy storage deployments by application

What is the cumulative installed capacity of energy storage projects?

The cumulative installed capacity of new energy storage projects is 21.1GW/44.6GWh, and the power and energy scale have increased by more than 225% year-on-year. Figure 1: Cumulative installed capacity (MW%) of electric energy storage projects commissioned in China (as of the end of June 2023)
