How much money did energy storage companies raise in 2022?

In 2022, industry players raised RMB 32.5 billion in Series A and Series B funding, accounting for 66% of the total (Figure 16). From a regional perspective, energy storage enterprises in the top 10 provinces raised a total of RMB 45.3 billion in 2022, accounting for 92% of the national total.

Will the energy storage industry thrive in the next stage?

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.

How many electrochemical storage stations are there in 2022?

In 2022, 194 electrochemical storage stations were put into operation, with a total stored energy of 7.9GWh. These accounted for 60.2% of the total energy stored by stations in operation, a year-on-year increase of 176% (Figure 4).

How big will electrochemical energy storage be by 2027?

Based on CNESA’s projections, the global installed capacity of electrochemical energy storage will reach 1138.9GWh by 2027, with a CAGR of 61% between 2021 and 2027, which is twice as high as that of the energy storage industry as a whole (Figure 3).

How will energy storage affect global electricity demand?

Global electricity demand is set to more than double by mid-century, relative to 2020 levels. With renewable sources – particularly wind and solar – expected to account for the largest share of power output in the coming decades, energy storage will play a significant role in maintaining the balance between supply and demand.

What is the global battery storage capacity in 2022?

At the end of the year 2022, total global installed stationary battery storage capacity stood at more than 27 GW ( , p. 311). The speed of the increase has been substantial: just 10 years ago, the global installed battery energy storage was less than 1 GW in total.
