2026 Energy Storage Outlook Policy and Scale Reshape C&I and Container
Executive Summary: The Dawning of a New Era The global energy storage industry stands at a pivotal threshold in 2026, marked by a powerful convergence of ambitious policy
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).
The energy storage sector maintained its upward trajectory in 2024, with estimates indicating that global energy storage installations rose by more than 75%, measured by megawatt-hours (MWh), year-over-year in 2024 and are expected to go beyond the terawatt-hour mark before 2030.
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).
From an international perspective, the IEA estimates that China will have the highest installed electrochemical energy storage capacity by 2026, accounting for 22% of the global total. By then, China will be on a par with Europe and outstrip the US by 7 percentage points (Figure 5). 2.
