How did energy storage grow in 2022 & 2023?

The US utility-scale storage sector saw tremendous growth over 2022 and 2023. In 2022, the volume of energy storage installations totaled 11,976 megawatt hours (MWh), which was surpassed in the first three quarters of 2023, reaching 13,518 MWh by cumulative volume.

Can the energy storage sector be supercharged?

Policymakers in the United States and Europe continue to put forth measures meant to supercharge the energy storage sector toward a promising future. Even with near-term headwinds, cumulative global energy storage installations are projected to be well in excess of 1 terawatt hour (TWh) by 2030.

What types of energy storage policies have been adopted?

Around 15 states have adopted some form of energy storage policy, including procurement targets, regulatory adaptation, demonstration programs, financial incentives, and/or consumer protections. Several states have also required that utility resource plans include energy storage.

What's going on at the Energy Storage Summit Australia 2025?

NSW’s BESS pipeline, PHES in Tasmania and the ‘home of utility-scale storage’ were discussed at the Energy Storage Summit Australia 2025. ESN Premium discusses the ongoing adaptation of EV battery lines to stationary storage applications with Jaehong Park, CEO of LG ES Vertech.

What is a common practice for energy storage project contracts?

It is common practice to see multiple equipment supply, construction, and installation contracts rather than one turnkey engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contract for energy storage projects.

Should energy storage projects have multiple construction contracts?

For energy storage projects, it is common practice to have multiple contracts for equipment supply, construction, and installation, rather than a single turnkey engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contract. This approach helps manage construction risks.
