Global Stationary Energy Storage Market Drivers

Rise in demand for renewable energy to foster market growth

The global push towards renewable energy has led to a surge in installations of solar and wind power systems. However, the variable nature of these energy sources requires robust storage solutions to balance supply and demand effectively. Stationary energy storage systems, like lithium-ion batteries and pumped hydro storage, play a crucial role in addressing this challenge by storing excess energy during periods of high generation and releasing it during peak demand or low production periods.

Growing government policies and incentive schemes

The market is projected to grow owing to favorable government policies and regulations. India aims to achieve 50% of its total installed power capacity from non-fossil fuel energy sources by 2030 and has committed to reducing the emission intensity of its GDP by 45% compared to 2005 levels. According to the National Electricity Plan (NEP) 2023 by the Central Electricity Authority (CEA), the energy storage capacity needed is estimated to be 82.37 GWh by 2026-27, with 47.65 GWh coming from Pumped Storage Power (PSP) and 34.72 GWh from Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). This demand is projected to grow significantly, reaching 411.4 GWh by 2031-32, comprising 175.18 GWh from PSP and 236.22 GWh from BESS. Looking further ahead, the CEA forecasts that by 2047, energy storage requirements will surge to 2380 GWh—540 GWh from PSP and 1840 GWh from BESS—driven by increased renewable energy integration in line with India’s net zero emissions goal for 2070. This is further anticipated to proliferate the stationary energy storage market demand.

Global Stationary Energy Storage Market Opportunities

The stationary energy storage market is a highly lucrative market that offers significant opportunities for players in the energy sector. As the global economy continues to improve, stationary battery storage is an ideal solution for storing energy to meet growing demand.

Analyst Opinion (Expert Opinion)

• The stationary energy storage market has moved beyond just supporting renewable energy—it has become essential for making power grids stronger and cleaner.
• Right now, lithium-ion batteries still lead the market, but we’re seeing a big rise in other types like vanadium redox flow and solid-state batteries. For example, in Australia, large projects like UniEnergy Technologies’ 150 MW / 193.5 MWh vanadium redox flow battery show how companies are solving the problem of storing energy for longer periods, which is important for keeping the grid stable over many hours or days.
• The market is also being shaped heavily by new rules focused on making the grid more reliable. Take Texas: after the 2021 blackouts, there was a huge jump in battery storage projects. The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) has awarded contracts for nearly 1,200 MW of battery storage, showing how government policies can quickly create strong demand. This means places with clear rules and incentives are moving faster than those relying only on market forces.
• The cost of battery packs has fallen dramatically—from about $1,100 per kWh in 2010 to less than USD 140 per kWh in 2023—which is a key factor. But the bigger change is how storage projects are making money. They’re not just saving energy for peak times or buying and selling power; they’re also earning from services that help stabilize the grid, like frequency regulation and voltage support. For example, in the PJM market, revenue from frequency regulation has grown over 25% each year recently, showing that energy storage is valued for many different roles.
