Market Data: Utility-Scale Energy Storage Market Update

Global Market Drivers, Trends, and Forecasts for the Large-Scale Energy Storage Industry: 2021-2030

Utility-scale energy storage (UES) is a multifaceted technology capable of providing a range of grid services and improving overall power system efficiency. Although the technology can provide operational cost savings for any power system, the single most important driver for the market’s growth is the increasing penetration of variable renewable power generation, notably solar and wind.

UES is considered a key component of new power system planning efforts in countries around the world, representing a major shift from 2016 when the technology was still largely considered too expensive or complex for integration into energy markets. Falling battery prices have made UES projects cost competitive with fossil fuel generation and other technologies for numerous applications, including peak generation capacity and frequency regulation. However, the most substantial shift has been the improving economics of combined solar plus storage projects, which are cheaper than natural gas generation in many countries and account for a large, growing portion of the global UES market.

This Guidehouse Insights report provides global forecasts for annual deployments of new UES projects in terms of power capacity (MW), energy capacity (MWh), and project deployment revenue. These forecasts are then segmented by region, technology, and the applications or services that the system provides. All forecasts cover a 10-year period from 2021-2030.
