E nergy storage for the electrical grid is about to hit the big time. By the reckoning of the International Energy Agency (iea), a forecaster, grid-scale storage is now the fastest-growing of all the energy technologies. In 2025, some 80 gigawatts (gw) of new grid-scale energy storage will be added globally, an eight-fold increase from 2021.
One way to strengthen the grid is building more consistently available forms of renewable energy, such as geothermal technologies that draw energy from the Earth’s heat. Another is to connect the grid over larger regions—such as across the US or Europe—to balance local fluctuations in solar and wind.
The firm plans to have 50 gw h of storage operational in 2025, with another 50 gw h coming within the next few years. Compressed gas is another approach showing promise. Italy’s Energy Dome stores carbon dioxide under pressure in distinctive white domes. When energy is needed, the gas is expanded and passed through a turbine.
For long-duration storage, “it looks plausible that that would be the technology of choice,” says energy expert Wolf-Peter Schill of the German Institute for Economic Research who coauthored a 2021 review on the economics of energy storage in the Annual Review of Resource Economics.
A flurry of big solar and storage project news in the US, with Pine Gate Renewables having a huge project approved in Oregon, Avantus signing a PPA for one in Arizona with utility APS and Arevon completing one in California.
