Courtesy of Salt River Project The U.S. energy storage industry will invest $100 billion over the next five years to build and buy batteries made in the United States, the American Clean Power Association and company representatives said Tuesday.
The energy storage sector maintained its upward trajectory in 2024, with estimates indicating that global energy storage installations rose by more than 75%, measured by megawatt-hours (MWh), year-over-year in 2024 and are expected to go beyond the terawatt-hour mark before 2030.
Amid ongoing conversations about grid reliability amid growing electricity demand driven in part by booming expansion of data centers and continuing interest in moving away from fossil fuels toward intermittent renewable resources, energy storage development will continue to grow across the United States.
With developers continuing to add new capacity, including 9.2 GW of new lithium-ion battery storage capacity in 2024 through November 2024 and comparable levels of growth expected through the fourth quarter of 2024, energy storage investments and M&A activity are expected to continue this trajectory through 2025.
