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.
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.
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.
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.
