4 FAQs about The latest data on energy storage batteries
Why is battery storage important?
Batteries are an important part of the global energy system today and are poised to play a critical role in secure clean energy transitions. In the transport sector, they are the essential component in the millions of electric vehicles sold each year. In the power sector, battery storage is the fastest growing clean energy technology on the market.
Will battery storage set a record in 2025?
In 2025, capacity growth from battery storage could set a record as operators report plans to add 19.6 GW of utility-scale battery storage to the grid, according to our January 2025 preliminary electric generator inventory data.
Are battery storage systems a primary electricity source?
Battery storage systems are not a primary electricity source, meaning the technology does not create electricity from a fuel or natural resource. Instead, batteries store electricity that has already been created from an electricity generator or the electric power grid, which makes energy storage systems secondary sources of electricity.
Which countries are deploying record-breaking battery storage capacity in 2025?
European Union countries deployed record-breaking battery storage capacity for the 12th consecutive year in 2025. US sodium-ion (Na-ion) battery technology company Unigrid has begun international shipments of its proprietary sodium cobalt oxide (NCO) cathode cells at commercial volume.
