TrendForce expects that from 2024 to 2025, although the installations for energy storage still maintain a relatively high growth trend, but the CAGR will slow down significantly to 27%. The global installed capacity of energy storage will reach about 86GW/221GWh in 2025, a year-on-year growth of 27%/36%.
Battery storage. In 2025, capacity growth from battery storage could set a record as we expect 18.2 GW of utility-scale battery storage to be added to the grid. U.S. battery storage already achieved record growth in 2024 when power providers added 10.3 GW of new battery storage capacity.
Together, solar and battery storage account for 81% of the expected total capacity additions, with solar making up over 50% of the increase. Solar. In 2024, generators added a record 30 GW of utility-scale solar to the U.S. grid, accounting for 61% of capacity additions last year.
The global energy storage sector is on track for another record year in 2025 as utility-scale projects expand into new regions. BloombergNEF (BNEF) forecasts that developers will add 94 gigawatts (247 gigawatt-hours) of battery capacity this year, a 35% increase over 2024 and the highest annual total to date (excluding pumped hydro).
