What's new in battery energy storage in Q1 2024?

Shaniyaa looks into the buildout of battery energy storage in Q1 2024. 184 MW of new capacity becoming operational in Q1 2024, the lowest since Q3 2022. The new capacity came from six new battery energy storage units. These range from 19 MW to 50 MW in rated power and one to two hours in duration.

How many MW of battery energy storage has come online?

The past three quarters have seen battery energy storage buildout really start to ramp up. An average 407 MW of new capacity has come online per quarter (Q4 2022 - Q2 2023). In the three quarters prior (Q1-3 2022), the average new capacity was just 106 MW.

How many new battery energy storage sites are there in 2023?

11 new battery energy storage sites (>7 MW), with a total capacity of 413 MW, came online in Q2 of 2023. This means that the average size of new batteries was 38 MW - but the median was just 24 MW. Essentially, one particularly large site skewed this average:

What is a battery energy storage system?

A Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) secures electrical energy from renewable and non-renewable sources and collects and saves it in rechargeable batteries for use at a later date. When energy is needed, it is released from the BESS to power demand to lessen any disparity between energy demand and energy generation.
