Energy storage has the potential to play a crucial role in the future of the power sector. However, significant research and development efforts are needed to improve storage technologies, reduce costs, and increase efficiency.
Globally, energy storage project development is increasingly driven by the utility-scale segment, with mandates and targeted auctions driving gigawatt-hour projects in markets like China, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Australia and Chile.
Investor participation is beneficial for the development of the energy storage industry. Facing trends, they should keep a cool head in assessing business models to identify high-quality segments and targets.
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.
The energy storage industry faces several notable limitations and gaps that hinder its widespread implementation and integration into power systems. Challenges include the necessity for appropriate market design, regulatory frameworks, and incentives to stimulate investment in energy storage solutions.
They are also strategically important for international competition. KPMG China and the Electric Transportation & Energy Storage Association of the China Electricity Council ('CEC') released the New Energy Storage Technologies Empower Energy Transition report at the 2023 China International Energy Storage Conference.
