The global energy storage sector is on track for another record year in 2025 as utility-scale projects expand into new regions. BloombergNEF (BNEF) forecasts that developers will add 94 gigawatts (247 gigawatt-hours) of battery capacity this year, a 35% increase over 2024 and the highest annual total to date (excluding pumped hydro).
Global installed energy storage is on a steep upward trajectory. From just under 0.5 terawatts (TW) in 2024, total capacity is expected to rise ninefold to over 4 TW by 2040, driven by battery energy storage systems (BESS). Last year saw a record-breaking 200 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of new BESS projects coming online, a growth rate of 80%.
In the United States, the 2022 introduction of the Inflation Reduction Act included an investment tax credit for stand-alone storage.
