The US energy storage industry saw its highest-ever first-quarter deployment figures in 2024, with 1,265MW/3,152MWh of additions.

Europe’s annual battery storage deployments doubled in 2023, but the pace of adoption is still much slower than required, according to SolarPower Europe.

According to IEA and BloombergNEF, battery storage was the most invested-in energy tech, with biggest-ever growth in deployments recorded.

Australia’s battery storage market had a record-breaking year in 2023 across utility-scale, residential, and commercial and industrial (C&I) segments.

London Stock Exchange-listed battery storage investment firm Harmony Energy Income Trust (HEIT) has predicted that it can generate “attractive returns” despite the ongoing woes in battery energy storage revenues in the GB market.

Analysis firm EnergyTrend has forecast that a “surge” in global large-scale energy storage system deployments is likely in 2024.

Energy storage systems (ESS) will become India’s most invested-in clean energy asset class during this decade, but it’s likely to be pumped hydro, not lithium-ion batteries, that see the most deployments.

After a difficult couple of years which saw the trend of falling lithium battery prices temporarily reverse, a 14% drop in lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery pack cost from 2022-2023 has been recorded by BloombergNEF.

Australia’s National Electricity Market (NEM) has been handed the title of “most volatile electricity market” in the world, with an urgent need for energy storage to mitigate that volatility.
