China again dominated global battery storage deployments in August, accounting for two-thirds of what came online, but Europe, North America and Oceania/Australia had good months too.
China continued to drive global grid-scale BESS commissioning activity in July, as the technology approaches the global installed gigawatt (GW) capacity of pumped hydro.
June 2025 saw a total of 7.96GW/22.17GWh of grid-scale BESS enter commercial operations across 109 projects, with over half of that being in China, while the overall first half of the year saw substantial growth.
February 2025 saw around 4.5GW/10.5GWh of grid-scale BESS deployments globally, with China continuing to account for the majority but Europe increasing its share from January.
