Ranking of foreign independent energy storage power stations

Which country has the most battery-based energy storage projects in 2022?

In 2022, the United States was the leading country for battery-based energy storage projects, with approximately eight gigawatts of installed capacity.

What was the largest electrochemical energy storage project in 2023?

The largest electrochemical power storage project in the U.S. in 2023 was the lithium-ion battery energy storage project of Morro Bay.

How will energy storage affect global electricity demand?

Energy storage will play a significant role in maintaining the balance between supply and demand as global electricity demand more than doubles by mid-century. This growth in demand will be primarily met by renewable sources like wind and solar.

What types of energy storage are included?

Other storage includes compressed air energy storage, flywheel and thermal storage. Hydrogen electrolysers are not included. Global installed energy storage capacity by scenario, 2023 and 2030 - Chart and data by the International Energy Agency.
