How did energy storage grow in 2022 & 2023?

The US utility-scale storage sector saw tremendous growth over 2022 and 2023. The volume of energy storage installations in the United States in 2022 totaled 11,976 megawatt hours (MWh)—a figure surpassed in the first three quarters of 2023 when installations hit 13,518 MWh by cumulative volume.

What do we expect in the energy storage industry this year?

This report highlights the most noteworthy developments we expect in the energy storage industry this year. Prices: Both lithium-ion battery pack and energy storage system prices are expected to fall again in 2024.

How many gigawatts will stationary storage add in 2024?

Stationary storage additions should reach another record, at 57 gigawatts (136 gigawatt-hours) in 2024, up 40% relative to 2023 in gigawatt terms. We expect stationary storage project durations to grow as use-cases evolve to deliver more energy, and more homes to add batteries to their new solar installations.

Which long-duration energy storage technologies have a critical year ahead?

Beyond lithium-ion batteries, other long-duration energy storage (LDES) technologies have a critical year ahead. China has forged ahead with its LDES development and will remain the frontrunner this year, even as US, UK, Australia and other markets support LDES growth.
