(28.5 GW) and the United States (24.2 GW) – accounting for almost half (48%) of global energy storage capacity. These countries are home to the largest capacities of pumped hydro storage, although they are emerging as significant locations for new and emerging electricity storage technologies. 6.8 GW of energy storage globally (Figure ES8).
Today, an estimated 4.67 TWh of electricity storage exists. This number remains highly uncertain, however, given the lack of comprehensive statistics for renewable energy storage capacity in energy rather than power terms.
6.8 GW of energy storage globally (Figure ES8). Thermal energy storage applications, at present, are dominated by CSP plants, with the storage enabling them to dispatch electricity into the evening or around the clock.
Global electricity demand is set to more than double by mid-century, relative to 2020 levels. With renewable sources – particularly wind and solar – expected to account for the largest share of power output in the coming decades, energy storage will play a significant role in maintaining the balance between supply and demand.
Electricity storage is currently an economic solution of-grid in solar home systems and mini-grids where it can also increase the fraction of renewable energy in the system to as high as 100% (IRENA, 2016c). The same applies in the case of islands or other isolated grids that are reliant on diesel-fired electricity (IRENA, 2016a; IRENA, 2016d).
