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.
Against the backdrop of swift and significant cost reductions, the use of battery energy storage in power systems is increasing. Not that energy storage is a new phenomenon: pumped hydro-storage has seen widespread deployment for decades. There is, however, no doubt we are entering a new phase full of potential and opportunities.
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:
As renewable capacity is added to the grid, the need to store and flexibly manage electricity grows with it. This is where the crucial role of battery energy storage systems (BESS) come into play, storing and releasing energy for when it’s needed most. We look at what’s happening with the growth of BESS in the UK.
Battery energy storage can power us to Net Zero. Here's how | World Economic Forum The use of battery energy storage in power systems is increasing. But while approximately 192GW of solar and 75GW of wind were installed globally in 2022, only 16GW/35GWh (gigawatt hours) of new storage systems were deployed.
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.
