Following the landmark agreement with Saudi Electricity Company (SEC) in early 2025 for the world''s largest 12.5GWh grid-side energy storage project, BYD Energy Storage
In May 2025, the Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) released new BRI engagement statistics covering the period of January to April 2024. According to these data, Chinese
Abstract Renewable energy markets have recently emerged in countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Despite having abundant renewable energy
Despite growing concerns over China''s Belt & Road Initiative (BRI)''s electricity generation projects, studies analyzing the suitability of such projects to importing countries are
Here''s a dirty little secret: the energy storage world is obsessed with lithium-ion, but did you know flow batteries are making a comeback? Recent data from Wood Mackenzie
Let''s kick things off with a question: Why does a 2MW energy storage system cost roughly what it does? In 2025, the answer involves lithium-ion drama, policy rollercoasters,
There must be a balance ensuring not very high energy bills for auxiliary power and at the same time not reducing the cycle life by too much. This balance varies based on the

EPRI’s Energy Storage and Distributed Generation Program uses this Roadmap as a planning guide for strategizing the direction and alignment of its BESS collaborations and applied research priorities to foster the needs of its Members and EPRI’s mission of “advancing safe, reliable, affordable, and clean energy for society.”
This Battery Energy Storage Roadmap revises the gaps to reflect evolving technological, regulatory, market, and societal considerations that introduce new or expanded challenges that must be addressed to accelerate deployment of safe, reliable, affordable, and clean energy storage to meet capacity targets by 2030.
Gaps were sorted by project set to facilitate focused, long-term research planning that incorporates projects and activities to close the gaps. This EPRI Battery Energy Storage Roadmap contains four Future State Pillars, each representing an aspect of EPRI’s mission to advance safe, reliable, affordable, and clean energy.
United States forecasts that consider state goals, utility integrated resource plans (IRPs), and industry expectations estimate energy storage capacity will more than double by 2030, much of which is expected to be contributed to BESS deployments.
