By the reckoning of the International Energy Agency (iea), a forecaster, grid-scale storage is now the fastest-growing of all the energy technologies. In 2025, some 80 gigawatts (gw) of new grid-scale energy storage will be added globally, an eight-fold increase from 2021. Grid-scale energy storage is on the rise thanks to four potent forces.
The large-scale development of energy storage technologies will address China’s flexibility challenge in the power grid, enabling the high penetration of renewable sources. This article intends to fill the existing research gap in energy storage technologies through the lens of policy and finance.
Investment decisions Energy storage can affect investment in power generation by reducing the need for peaker plants and transmission and distribution upgrades, thereby lowering the overall cost of electricity generation and delivery.
Grid-scale storage refers to technologies connected to the power grid that can store energy and then supply it back to the grid at a more advantageous time – for example, at night, when no solar power is available, or during a weather event that disrupts electricity generation.
Great Britain’s demand for electricity could be met largely (or even wholly) by wind and solar energy supported by large-scale storage at a cost that compares favourably with the costs of low-carbon alternatives, which are not well suited to complementing intermittent wind and solar energy and variable demand.
Analyzing energy generation data, the study concluded that energy storage requirements for a wind and solar-only grid were high and would need to increase further to cover the total energy demand of a country without combustion fuels.
