Will commercial battery deployments overtake residential build by 2030?

Commercial battery deployments overtake residential build by 2030in BNEF’s latest outlook, thanks to updated assumptions on attachment rates, which refer to the percentage of solar installations that are paired with a battery. Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) remains the prevalent lithium-ion battery chemistry in the stationary energy storage market.

Who makes battery chemistry?

Most major battery makers, such as Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Ltd. (CATL), BYD, EVE Energy, CALB and Hithium, develop products specifically for the energy storage market, driving a continued deviation from the electric-vehicle chemistry mix, which features a larger proportion of nickel-based lithium-ion battery chemistries.

Is China entering a new era of energy storage demand?

Mainland China accounts for most of the global energy storage demand, driven in the near term by regional requirements for new utility-scale wind and solar projects to include energy storage capacity. However, the Chinese market is entering an era of change.

Should energy storage be removed from energy grid connection?

For energy storage, the new Chinese policy emphasized the need to remove energy storage as a prerequisite for renewable energy project grid connection, a requirement that has been a major driver for battery build. Nonetheless, BNEF still expects strong demand for batteries, as the policy doesn’t explicitly require mandates to stop.
