Energy storage can be achieved via various technologies, of which majorly used technologies are solid-state batteries, flow batteries, thermal energy storage systems, and pumped hydro storage.


Furthermore, growing initiatives by various organizations to set up new plants to establish large-scale storage infrastructures with low carbon discharges are also projected to add to the industry outlook. For instance, in March 2021, Pacific Green, a clean energy technology company operating across the globe, announced to initiate an exclusive agreement with an infrastructure project developer TUPA Energy to establish a battery energy storage system with a capacity of 1.1 GW in the U.K. as part of the TUPA agreement. The company also acquired the rights to 100MW of BESS in Kent, U.K. and plans to conclude the remaining 1,000MW by 2023.


Rising Peak Energy Demand and Favorable Policy Framework to Augment Market Size


The increasing population across the world, coupled with growing initiatives to boost rural electrification, has increased the peak energy demand. Besides, the increased rate of urbanization and the introduction of infrastructure projects have increased the power supply-demand from utilities.


For example, as per the Italian transmission system operator (TSO) Terna S.p.A., the total peak load in the country reached a maximum of about 55.16 GW during the year 2020. The company further stated that the lowest value of the national peak load was around 37.44 GW in the same year, observing a steep change of over 47.3% between the lowest and highest demands.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


High Initial Investment May Hinder Market Pace


The primary factor that restrains the battery energy storage market growth is the requirement of substantial capital investments. These systems are mainly deployed for large BESS plants to cater to the energy demand at peak loads. For instance, as per the Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP), a particular unit administered by the World Bank reported that the total installed cost of various energy storage technologies can vary in a substantial range from just over USD 2,000 per kW and growing up to around USD 3,300 kW, impacting the initial capital expenditures.
