This report highlights the most noteworthy developments we expect in the energy storage industry this year. Prices: Both lithium-ion battery pack and energy storage system prices are expected to fall again in 2024.
The demand for energy storage continues to escalate, driven by the pressing need to decarbonise economies through renewable integration on the grid while electrifying sources of consumption. In this dynamic environment, staying abreast of the latest market trends and developments is crucial for industry players.
The evolution of energy storage safety has been marked by a dynamic interplay between technological advancements, regulatory frameworks, and industry best practices.
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.
Pressure to engage with local communities much earlier than in years past will only heighten in 2024, which increases costs, logistics, and labour for developers. These early-stage development challenges will persist well into this year, as the industry grapples with storage adoption at the local level.
And more. The landscape for energy storage is poised for significant installation growth and technological advancements in 2024. Countries across the globe are seeking to meet their energy transition goals, with energy storage identified as critical to ensuring reliable and stable regional power markets.
