By the end of December 2025, China''s cumulative installed capacity of new energy storage technologies including lithium-ion reached 144.7GW, representing an 85% year-on-year rise.
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.
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.
The energy storage industry is going through a critical period of transition from the early commercial stage to development on a large scale. Whether it can thrive in the next stage depends on its economics.
At its core, energy storage involves converting electrical energy into another form that can be preserved and then converted back to electricity when needed. Energy storage systems operate on the principle of energy conversion and preservation.
