Overview of Report Findings
- Market Growth: The battery energy storage system market size is projected to reach US$ 143.28 billion by 2031 from US$ 41.97 billion in 2024. The market is expected to register a CAGR of 17.91% during 2023–2031. The changing energy circumstances across the globe are generating a demand for energy storage infrastructure. The growing energy demand displays the significance of energy storage systems. The storage system allows energy storage and its usage as per the requirement. Battery energy storage is also important owing to the required balance of energy supply. Developments in energy storage systems and an increase in research and development in energy management systems are driving the battery energy storage system market. For instance, in the US, Stor4Build, an association on energy storage for buildings, is working to accelerate the optimization and deployment of storage technologies. In January 2024, Plus Power stated that it initiated operation at its Kapolei Energy Storage facility in Oahu, Hawaii. The plant is equipped with a grid-scale battery energy storage system, helping in the transition of the state’s electric power from coal to solar and wind. In June 2024, Plus Power started managing seven large-scale battery energy storage plants across Arizona and Texas for a total of 1,325 MW/3,500 MWh. Thus, the growing focus of countries on building a vigorous storage infrastructure is driving the battery energy storage system market in the world.
- Mounting Demand for Energy: Rising population and growing urbanization are a few factors steering the use of energy globally specifically in countries such as the US, China, India, and Japan among others. As per the US Energy Information Administration (EIA), US energy consumption is anticipated to grow by 2050 owing to economic and population growth. EIA also reported that US electricity end-use consumption was ~3.2% higher in 2022 than in 2021. Further, EIA predicted that US power consumption will rise by 0.7% in 2025. Battery energy storage has the potential application as energy storage used in times of crisis or in remote or distant locations where power networks are not available. Furthermore, due to the increasing energy uncertainties worldwide, the US government is boosting the application of battery energy storage. For instance, in May 2024, Plus Power secured a US$ 82 million tax equity investment from bank Morgan Stanley for the Arizona-based 90 MW/360 MWh Superstition BESS project, which is anticipated to be operational in June 2024. In February 2024, RWE completed the construction of three new battery energy storage systems (BESS) totaling 190 MW (361 MWh) in Texas and Arizona.
- Growing Investment in Renewable Power Generation: Since over 70% of greenhouse gas emissions come from the energy sector, an EMS is an effective tool in the fight against CO2 emissions as per the EIA. A battery energy storage system boosts the usage of renewable energy during peak periods and thus reduces dependence on fossil fuels. The load optimization process ensures a device operates at peak efficiency, preventing energy wastage and lowering emissions. In addition, an EMS facilitates the seamless integration of renewable power sources, including solar and wind, into the power grid. By prioritizing renewable energy when available, BESS minimizes reliance on fossil fuels, which are the primary contributors to carbon emissions. Efficiency is an important measure for reducing energy demand in the Net Zero Emissions by the 2050 scenario and has made progress in recent years. However, to achieve this target, the rate of improvement in global energy intensity must be higher than in the past.
