SELBYVILLE, Del. — The U.S. Energy Storage Market will exceed $4 billion by 2024, as reported in the latest study by Global Market Insights Inc.
A growing regulatory focus toward minimizing carbon emissions while increasing the share of renewables on the grid will drive the U.S. energy storage market size. Key states, including California, Massachusetts, New York, and Oregon, have adopted legally defined energy storage capacities to be integrated into the electric grid. In December 2017, the New York government introduced a new law mandating a statewide energy storage deployment target of 1,500 MW by 2025.
The U.S. residential energy storage market will witness robust expansion on account of increasing penetration of solar PV levels along with introduction of supportive policies and energy storage subsidies. California and Hawaii constitute a sizable proportion of the overall residential energy storage sector in the country with fresh participation anticipated from Arizona and Massachusetts in the near term. The industry growth is further stimulated by growing implementation of time-of-use rates by utilities coupled with reduction in net metering compensation.
The lithium ion energy storage market will witness growth on account of continued downturn in battery costs driven by enhanced manufacturing capacity. Lithium-ion batteries are utilized in a wide array of energy-storage applications, including residential systems with rooftop photovoltaic arrays and grid ancillary services, amongst others. High charge/discharge efficiency and appreciable energy density are some of the key features that will continue to boost the technology adoption over the conventional counterparts.
The U.S. utility energy storage market size will exceed $1.5 billion by 2024. Strengthening the need to build a disruption-proof grid with the implementation of increased efficiency, resilience, and sustainability will promote industry growth. Growing concerns over climate change and aging grid infrastructure will open opportunities for businesses.
Key industry participants active in the U.S. energy storage market comprise Duke Energy, East Penn Mfg., E.ON, EDF Renewable Energy, GE Power, EnerVault, LG Chem, Fluence Energy, Invenergy, Johnson Controls Inc., Tesla, SolarEdge, and ABB, amongst others, according to the study.
