Our research shows considerable near-term potential for stationary energy storage. One reason for this is that costs are falling and could be $200 per kilowatt-hour in 2020, half today''s price, and $160 per kilowatt-hour or less in 2025. Another is that identifying the most economical projects and highest-potential customers for storage

Global industrial energy storage is projected to grow 2.6 times, from just over 60 GWh to 167 GWh in 2030. The majority of the growth is due to forklifts (8% CAGR). UPS and data centers show moderate growth (4% CAGR) and telecom backup battery demand shows the lowest growth level (2% CAGR) through 2030.

For centralized storage, shared large-scale batteries enhance collective self-consumption, relieve grid constraints for the local grid (with significant electric vehicles and renewable
