Energy storage ratio of each country

Which countries have the most grid-scale battery energy storage systems in 2023?

This treemap, created in partnership with the National Public Utilities Council, visualizes which countries had the most grid-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS) in 2023. China has nearly half the world’s grid storage battery capacity and keeps growing at a breakneck pace.

Which countries need more battery storage?

Ireland and Germany’s capacities only grew by 28% from the previous year. Meanwhile, South Korea’s capacity remained the same. The International Energy Agency estimates that 1,300 GW of battery storage will be needed by 2030 to support the renewable energy capacity required to meet the 1.5°C global warming target.

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.

How much energy storage will Canada use in 2023?

This statistic shows the projected global energy storage deployed between 2013 and 2023, broken down by select country. It is projected that the Canadian energy storage market will have deployed 1.3 gigawatt hours between these years.

Which country has the largest storage capacity?

California’s 8.6 GW is the largest capacity of any state and more than twice that of second-place Texas. Although Canada had only 0.4 GW of storage capacity in 2023, it quadrupled its capacity from the previous year. However, its 426% annual growth rate is still not the highest of the top 10 countries.

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.
