The company unveiled a new Electricity Storage Plan last week with a goal to develop 10 gigawatts of energy storage around the world by 2035, on top of the 5 gigawatts it currently has in operation. EDF said the accelerated plan represents an investment of 8 billion euros — or just shy of $10 billion — between 2018 and 2035.
Stationary storage deployment has grown more than 25-fold since then, ACP said. More recently, surging electric vehicle adoption, particularly in China, and improved lithium-ion battery economics have helped drive average levelized energy costs for wind and solar installations firmed with batteries below the cheapest thermal alternatives.
