[PDF Version]With developers continuing to add new capacity, including 9.2 GW of new lithium-ion battery storage capacity in 2024 through November 2024 and comparable levels of growth expected through the fourth quarter of 2024, energy storage investments and M&A activity are expected to continue this trajectory through 2025.
Here are the Top 10 Trends driving the industry forward in 2025: 1. Advanced Lithium-Ion Batteries Lithium-ion batteries dominate energy storage, but their limitations— flammability, aging, and resource scarcity —are pushing researchers toward enhanced versions. Li-Polymer, Li-Air, and Li-Sulfur batteries increase efficiency and safety.
The Future of Energy Storage The sector is no longer just about lithium-ion batteries. The industry is transitioning toward long-duration storage, decentralized solutions, and new battery chemistries. As the world shifts to renewable energy, scalability, affordability, and efficiency are key factors shaping the future.
The energy storage sector maintained its upward trajectory in 2024, with estimates indicating that global energy storage installations rose by more than 75%, measured by megawatt-hours (MWh), year-over-year in 2024 and are expected to go beyond the terawatt-hour mark before 2030.
Europe saw a pivotal moment when the grid-scale segment experienced a significant surge, surpassing the distributed segment for the first time. In Latin America, momentum was built as storage deployments increased by 42%. In 2025, emerging markets for storage will be on the rise.
Amid ongoing conversations about grid reliability amid growing electricity demand driven in part by booming expansion of data centers and continuing interest in moving away from fossil fuels toward intermittent renewable resources, energy storage development will continue to grow across the United States.
Title 17 Clean Energy Financing Program's Innovative Energy and Innovative Supply Chain category (Section 1703) can provide financing for deployment of storage technologies, or supply chain projects supporting energy storage, that use innovative technologies or processes; if qualifying storage projects receive meaningful support from a State Energy Financing Institution, they do not need to be innovative.
[PDF Version]The most obvious subsidies are the direct expenditures and R&D support from the federal budget. Tax expenditure subsidies are targeted tax incentives that producers or consumers of specific forms of energy receive. In this case, the government does not spend money, but it loses revenue that it would have otherwise received.
Approximately 16 states have adopted some form of energy storage policy, which broadly fall into the following categories: procurement targets, regulatory adaption, demonstration programs, financial incentives, and consumer protections. Below we give an overview of each of these energy storage policy categories.
Tax expenditure subsidies are targeted tax incentives that producers or consumers of specific forms of energy receive. In this case, the government does not spend money, but it loses revenue that it would have otherwise received. Federal government fiscal years begin on October 1 of the preceding calendar year and end on September 30.
We performed our first federal energy subsidies study at Congress's request in FY 1992, based on the requirements published in the House Committee on Appropriations' report on our FY 1992 appropriations. The most obvious subsidies are the direct expenditures and R&D support from the federal budget.
In 2022, Maryland became the first state to offer state income tax credit for energy storage that provides up to $5,000 for residential customers and up to $75,000 for commercial and industrial customers, subject to a program total of $750,000 per year.
