HOUSTON/WASHINGTON, D.C., March 19, 2025 — The U.S. energy storage market set a new record in 2024 with 12.3 gigawatts (GW) of installations across all segments, according to the latest U.S. Energy Storage Monitor report released today by the American Clean Power Association (ACP) and Wood Mackenzie.
“Energy storage has entered a new phase of growth with its first year of double-digit deployment. We are increasingly seeing the industry's growth diversified across geographic regions, with 30% of storage capacity additions in Q4 2024 represented by New Mexico, Oregon, and Arizona,” said Kelsey Hallahan, ACP Sr. Director of Market Intelligence.
Mainland China accounts for most of the global energy storage demand, driven in the near term by regional requirements for new utility-scale wind and solar projects to include energy storage capacity. However, the Chinese market is entering an era of change.
Globally, energy storage project development is increasingly driven by the utility-scale segment, with mandates and targeted auctions driving gigawatt-hour projects in markets like China, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Australia and Chile.
Nearly 11,000 MW of energy storage were added in 2024 to supplement generation capacity, increasing the total MW of energy storage 62% within the last year and 181% in the last two years. 15,306 MW of additional energy storage under preparation, testing, or construction are. . We expect 63 gigawatts (GW) of new utility-scale electric-generating capacity to be added to the U. power grid in 2025 in our latest Preliminary Monthly Electric Generator Inventory report. This amount represents an almost 30% increase from 2024 when 48. 6 GW of capacity was installed, the largest. . Electrical Energy Storage (EES) systems store electricity and convert it back to electrical energy when needed. The first battery, Volta's cell, was developed in 1800.
