Capacity for global battery energy storage systems rose 42 gigawatts in 2023, nearly doubling the total increase in capacity observed in the previous year, according to the International Energy Agency. — CNBC's Arjun Kharpal contributed reporting.
Many individual energy storage plants augment electrical grids by capturing excess electrical energy during periods of low demand and storing it in other forms until needed on an electrical grid. The energy is later converted back to its electrical form and returned to the grid as needed.
Utility-scale battery energy storage systems help electricity grids keep supply and demand in balance. They are increasingly needed to bridge the supply-demand mismatch caused by intermittent energy sources such as solar and wind.
One study found that the economic value of energy storage in the U.S. is $228B over a 10-year period. 27 The 2022 Inflation Reduction Act provided a 30% Investment Tax Credit for energy storage technologies through 2032. Recent legislation reverts this to 2027. 42,46,48
