4 FAQs about New energy storage low-price leader

How has oversupply impacted battery energy storage system costs?

Oversupply of lithium-ion battery precursor and active materials – and of lithium iron-phosphate (LFP) batteries, especially in China – has driven energy storage system costs down, fueling a record 330 GWh of battery energy storage system (BESS) shipments in 2024.

Will a new energy storage system kickstart the US energy transition?

A new, extra-cheap energy storage system will help kickstart the US energy transition back into high gear if and when (spoiler alert: when) the current occupant of the White House leaves office as scheduled on January 20, 2029.

Why is energy storage so important?

The race to develop efficient and scalable energy storage systems has never been more crucial. These technologies underpin the transition to a low-carbon future by ensuring grid reliability, maximizing renewable energy use, and enhancing energy security.

Can energy storage be expanded?

There are some opportunities for expansion in the coming years, but scope of the field is limited by the availability of suitable elevation and water resources, among other obstacles. New types of pumped storage are in development, but similar limitations apply. Lithium-ion battery arrays are the other form of energy storage.
