6 FAQs about [12 billion investment in energy storage]

Will storage capacity increase energy security?

This has been confirmed by a study by the German energy consultancy Frontier Economics. Storage capacity will grow 40-fold to 57 GWh by 2030 with a cumulative power rating of 15 GW, leading to €12bn added economic value by 2050. Additional storage capacity reduces the need for new, high-emission gas plants and increases energy security.

What is the world's largest electricity storage capacity?

Global capability was around 8 500 GWh in 2020, accounting for over 90% of total global electricity storage. The world’s largest capacity is found in the United States. The majority of plants in operation today are used to provide daily balancing. Grid-scale batteries are catching up, however.

What is the electricity storage strategy?

The publication of the electricity storage strategy in late December 2023 is now the first important step to put political gravitas behind the role of storage systems in the context of the energy transition. The strategy aims to support greater deployment of electricity storage.

Why is energy storage important?

For example, when people are sleeping and thus using less electricity, the energy produced from wind blowing through the night can be stored in batteries — and used when demand is high during the day. “Energy storage is a crucial part of the new and evolving electricity grid," said Shawn Qu, chairman and CEO of Canadian Solar.

How many GW of energy storage will be built by 2037?

On the other hand, the German regulator, Bundesnetzagentur, stated in their last scenario for the network development plan, published in July 2022, that up to 23.7 GW of such energy storage assets would be built by 2037, growing to between 45 GW and 54 GW by 2045.
