Tesla’s energy storage business deployed 13.7GWh in Q3 2026, its second-highest quarterly figure to date, but saw a 16% year-on-year decline in revenues for the division.

CNESA’s report is a comprehensive overview of China’s energy storage sector in H1 2026 and outlines the industry outlook under the 15th Five-Year Plan.

The US energy storage industry broke deployment records in Q2 2026 in gigawatt-hour (GWh) terms, underpinned by growth in the utility-scale segment.

Energy storage deployments in China saw significant year-over-year growth in 2025 as the market size effectively doubled.

A total of 4.5GW/12.8GWh of large-scale BESS capacity when into operation around the world last month, with Asia and South America showing strong figures.

After reporting a record 112GW of global non-pumped hydro energy storage installations in 2025, BloombergNEF (BNEF) expects to see a 41% increase this year.

Tesla’s quarterly energy storage deployments fell 15% while revenues for its energy division dropped 12% year-over-year from Q1 2025 to Q1 2026.

Over 1.4GW/3.4GWh of grid-scale BESS came online in Europe, likely its best month ever, accounting for almost a fifth of global figures.

Wood Mackenzie has forecast that the US energy storage industry will install around half a terawatt-hour of new capacity over the next five years.
