Europe added around 7.3 GWh of installed energy storage capacity in the first half of 2023, with 4.6 GWh in the residential sector. Germany and Italy were the top performers. Currently, Europe still focuses on the BTM market. In the first half of 2023, the residential sector was vigorous.
As of the first half of 2023, the world added 27.3 GWh of installed energy storage capacity on the utility-scale power generation side plus the C&I sector and 7.3 GWh in the residential sector, totaling 34.6 GWh, equaling 80% of the 44 GWh addition last year. Despite a global installation boom, regional markets develop at varying paces.
The installation of electrochemical energy storage in China saw a steep increase in 2018, with an annual growth rate of 464.4% for new capacity, an amount of growth that is rare to see. Subsequently, the lowering of electrochemical energy storage growth in China in 2019 compared to 2018 should be viewed rationally.
New operational electrochemical energy storage capacity totaled 519.6 MW/855.0 MWh (note: final data to be released in the CNESA 2020 Energy Storage Industry White Paper). In 2019, overall growth in the development of electrical energy storage projects slowed, as the industry entered a period of rational adjustment.
Clearly, the predominant types of energy storage installations in China at present are still mandated installations for renewable energy and standalone energy storage. The primary driver behind the surge in domestic energy storage installations is the mandatory installation requirements.
Currently, the domestic energy storage industry in China is rapidly moving towards commercialization, with several local governments setting clear goals for installed capacity and putting in more efforts to promote installation.
Energy storage industry put on fast track in China
The energy storage power plants help improve the utilization rate of wind power, solar and other renewable sources, thus promoting the proportion of new energy consumption. In the first half of 2023, China''s installed renewable energy capacity surpassed coal power for the first time in history.
Electricity in the U.S.
Coal was the fourth-highest energy source—about 16%—of U.S. electricity generation in 2023. Nearly all coal-fired power plants use steam turbines. One power plant converts coal to a gas to use in gas turbines to generate electricity. Petroleum was the source of about 0.4% of U.S. electricity generation in 2023.
Hydropower in Europe: Facts and Figures
Installed hydropower capacity varies significantly throughout Europe, depending on the geographical region, water resources, available heads and national energy policies. Italy, France and Germany have the largest installed pumped storage capacity in Europe. Alpine pumped storage is the largest flexibility provider in central Europe.
