What will energy storage be like in 2035?
Energy storage installations globally will keep gaining momentum over the next decade as other markets pick up pace. BloombergNEF expects cumulative energy storage capacity in 2035 to reach 2 terawatts (7.3 terawatt-hours) – eight times the level in 2025. Utility-scale projects continue to dominate applications.
Is US energy storage set a Q1 record in 2025?
US energy storage set a Q1 record in 2025 with 2 GW added, but looming policy changes could put that growth at serious risk.
Is energy storage at a crossroads?
The Q1 2025 results demonstrate the demand for energy storage in the US to serve a grid with both growing renewables and growing load,” said Allison Weis, global head of energy storage at Wood Mackenzie. “However, the industry stands at a crossroads, with potential policy changes threatening to disrupt this momentum.”
How big will energy storage be in 2025?
Globally, annual energy storage deployment (excluding pumped hydropower plants) is set to hit another all-time high at 92 gigawatts (247 gigawatt-hours) in 2025 – 23% higher than in 2024. China accounts for over 50% of the annual build in gigawatts, followed by the US at 14%.

A total of 43 projects were selected from 79 applications in Portugal’s 2025 energy storage procurement. This included six projects from Spain’s Iberdrola, which secured nearly €20 million ($20.6 million) in public funding. From ESS News Portugal’s Ministry of Energy has announced that it has. .
When renewables supplied roughly 80% of Portugal’s electricity in July 2025, prices in the wholesale market briefly slid below zero—great for generators selling excess electrons, confusing for consumers who still paid standard tariffs. Batteries smooth out those extremes, allowing energy to be. .
The growth of solar and wind generation by 2030 could result in 3-5 TWh of curtailment which storage can capture during solar peaks, then discharge to meet evening demand when renewable generation declines. Storage provides real-time flexibility, enabling participation in balancing markets and.
