Energy storage database

What is the energy storage project database?

This is essentially a global industry platform for dissemination of project and performance metrics on the growing fleet of energy storage installations. Over the last four years, the database has been utilized to help shape the development of new projects, improve existing systems and to help develop policy and regulatory framework.

Why is energy storage data structure redesigned?

This redesign of the data structure also enables the path for getting the input data from reliable sources through APIs. A subpage on energy storage policies has been created to fill the gap on related policy information. Currently, policy analyses are provided for the United States.

How many energy storage projects are there?

In 2013, the database covered 409 projects; it aimed to cover all energy storage projects globally by 2014. By 2020, it covered 1,686 projects, comprising 22 GigaWatt power of US grid storage capacity. Pumped-storage hydroelectricity is around 90% of the energy capacity.

What resources are available for energy storage?

What is the world's largest electricity storage capacity?

Global capability was around 8 500 GWh in 2020, accounting for over 90% of total global electricity storage. The world’s largest capacity is found in the United States. The majority of plants in operation today are used to provide daily balancing. Grid-scale batteries are catching up, however.

What is a subpage on energy storage policies?

A subpage on energy storage policies has been created to fill the gap on related policy information. Currently, policy analyses are provided for the United States. The website has also been redesigned to provide better user experience.
