Energy storage aims to stockpile excess energy when conditions for renewables are optimal, using options such as batteries, then discharge it as necessary. Hydroelectric dams currently provide the greatest store of renewable energy, but only about 15 per cent of energy is generated by hydropower.
The future of energy storage is essential for decarbonizing our energy infrastructure and combating climate change. It enables electricity systems to remain in balance despite variations in wind and solar availability, allowing for cost-effective deep decarbonization while maintaining reliability.
Thermal energy storage is used particularly in buildings and industrial processes. It involves storing excess energy – typically surplus energy from renewable sources, or waste heat – to be used later for heating, cooling or power generation. Liquids – such as water – or solid material - such as sand or rocks - can store thermal energy.
Europe and China are leading the installation of new pumped storage capacity – fuelled by the motion of water. Batteries are now being built at grid-scale in countries including the US, Australia and Germany. Thermal energy storage is predicted to triple in size by 2030. Mechanical energy storage harnesses motion or gravity to store electricity.
Other storage includes compressed air energy storage, flywheel and thermal storage. Hydrogen electrolysers are not included. Global installed energy storage capacity by scenario, 2023 and 2030 - Chart and data by the International Energy Agency.
The world's largest electricity storage capacity is around 8,500 GWh. Global capability was around this figure in 2020, accounting for over 90% of total global electricity storage. The United States holds the world’s largest capacity.
