The pumped hydro storage technology type held a majority of market value of USD 38.5 billion in 2022. The sector has experienced a significant increase in investments due to the ongoing capacity addition and expansion worldwide. This expansion has been driven by emerging markets, where PHS plays a crucial role in providing energy security, water services, and promoting economic development and regional cooperation. While the industry has made significant progress in adopting sustainable practices and gaining acceptance from external stakeholders such as financial communities and NGOs, it still faces criticism from certain stakeholders regarding negative experiences and a lack of recognition of sustainable projects developed in recent years.
The electric energy time shift application captured 55% share of the U.S energy storage market in 2022. Electric Energy Time Shift (EETS) or demand response refers to the practice of reducing or shifting energy consumption during peak hours in response to Time of Use (TOU) tariffs or other financial incentives. The power industry views EETS as an important resource that can result in lower energy consumption, cost savings, and the ability to delay investments in new power plants and delivery systems. In addition, growing need for power system resilience on account of increased electricity outages or power failures has stimulated the demand for energy storage systems.
The U.S. held industry share of over 13% of the global energy storage systems market in 2022. Regulatory bodies have been crucial in driving investments in the energy and electric infrastructure and have continued to invest in the development, demonstration, and research of energy storage technologies. Additionally, they have been developing new analytics and modeling capabilities to evolve with technological needs and policies. Ongoing investments in grid energy storage, smart grid development, and advanced technologies will optimize power delivery, enhance resilience, and positively influence the growth of the industry.
