4 FAQs about Energy storage 50 new energy

How big will energy storage be in 2025?

Globally, annual energy storage deployment (excluding pumped hydropower plants) is set to hit another all-time high at 92 gigawatts (247 gigawatt-hours) in 2025 – 23% higher than in 2024. China accounts for over 50% of the annual build in gigawatts, followed by the US at 14%.

What will energy storage be like in 2035?

Energy storage installations globally will keep gaining momentum over the next decade as other markets pick up pace. BloombergNEF expects cumulative energy storage capacity in 2035 to reach 2 terawatts (7.3 terawatt-hours) – eight times the level in 2025. Utility-scale projects continue to dominate applications.

Which countries have the most energy storage installations?

China accounts for over 50% of the annual build in gigawatts, followed by the US at 14%. Energy storage additions in these two markets remain strong for now although recent policy changes slow new solar and wind in both markets. Energy storage installations globally will keep gaining momentum over the next decade as other markets pick up pace.

Will energy storage capacity reach 2 terawatts in 2035?

BloombergNEF expects cumulative energy storage capacity in 2035 to reach 2 terawatts (7.3 terawatt-hours) – eight times the level in 2025. Utility-scale projects continue to dominate applications. See 2H 2025 Energy Storage Market Outlook for more details.
