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.
Energy storage technologies are also the key to lowering energy costs and integrating more renewable power into our grids, fast. If we can get this right, we can hold on to ever-rising quantities of renewable energy we are already harnessing – from our skies, our seas, and the earth itself. The gap to fill is very wide indeed.
Mainland China accounts for most of the global energy storage demand, driven in the near term by regional requirements for new utility-scale wind and solar projects to include energy storage capacity. However, the Chinese market is entering an era of change.
This does not augur well for the market in terms of long-term competition. There will be safety risks associated with excessive cost control and an indifference to quality. Independent energy storage stations enjoy good long-term prospects, though this segment is sluggish in the short term.
With the performance of lithium batteries significantly improving over the past few years and the iteration of multiple technology routes accelerating, the energy storage industry has achieved scaled development, said Chen Haisheng, chairman of China Energy Storage Alliance.
Independent energy storage stations lease capacity to wind power, PV, and other new energy stations. Capacity leasing is a stable source of income for owners of independent energy storage power stations. The capacity leased can be seen as energy storage capacity built for new energy projects.
