The US utility-scale storage sector saw tremendous growth over 2022 and 2023. The volume of energy storage installations in the United States in 2022 totaled 11,976 megawatt hours (MWh)—a figure surpassed in the first three quarters of 2023 when installations hit 13,518 MWh by cumulative volume.
It estimates that 80 gigawatts of new energy storage capacity will be added in 2025 — eight times the amount added in 2021. Europe's had startups working on energy storage for a number of years. Some are developing large-scale batteries to store energy and hook into the grid.
In the third quarter of 2023, and despite significant delays in the market, the US storage market added a record-setting 2,354 MW and 7,322 MWh.
Total installed grid-scale battery storage capacity stood at close to 28 GW at the end of 2022, most of which was added over the course of the previous 6 years. Compared with 2021, installations rose by more than 75% in 2022, as around 11 GW of storage capacity was added.
Companies like Germany's Ostrom and Tibber are connecting domestic energy assets together to unlock storage capacity, and the cohort of companies will be less capital intensive than their hardware counterparts. The number of gigawatts that Europe is expected to be able to store by 2050, up from 15 gigawatts in 2023. 1
