ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEMS

Powering sustainable change in the energy storage market

Energy storage systems (ESS) provide the flexibility to deliver a more sustainable and resilient energy system. Whether energy storage is deployed to integrate variable renewable energy, mitigate the mismatch between power demand and supply, optimize the efficiency of generation assets or provide backup – ESS have become an indispensable component of the energy transition.

Driven by a growing demand for this flexibility, improved competitiveness and increasingly storage-friendly regulations, the ESS market is witnessing substantial growth. According to market analysts, the global energy storage market added 106 GW of new capacity worldwide in 2025, up more than 40% compared to 2024. Total global capacity surpassed 270 GW at the end of 2025, with the market projected to reach 1,545 GW by 2034 – nearly a sixfold increase.

Going forward, the future of energy storage looks bright. With the transition towards renewable energy and overall electrification of transport and heat in full swing, the value of flexibility will only increase – further propelled by other challenges to the power system such as rising geopolitical tensions and more frequent extreme weather events. Falling hardware costs, technological improvements and digitalization continue to unlock new profitable applications and opportunities for energy storage around the globe.
