6 FAQs about Gigawatt-hour energy storage projects

What drives energy storage project development?

Globally, energy storage project development is increasingly driven by the utility-scale segment, with mandates and targeted auctions driving gigawatt-hour projects in markets like China, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Australia and Chile.

Is energy storage on track for a record year in 2025?

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).

Where are gigawatt-hour projects being built?

Since 2024, gigawatt-hour projects have been commissioned or started construction in not only the US and China, but also Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Australia, Netherlands, Chile, Canada and the UK.

How big will energy storage be in 2025?

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.

How big will battery storage be by 2030?

Rystad Energy modeling projects that annual battery storage installations will surpass 400 gigawatt-hours (GWh) by 2030, representing a ten-fold increase in current yearly additions.

Why is battery energy storage important in 2022?

As the world transitions to greener sources of power generation such as solar PV and wind, battery energy storage developments will be critical in meeting future energy demand. Global BESS capacity additions expanded 60% in 2022 over the previous year, with total new installations exceeding 43 GWh.
