Last year marked a turning point with record additions in the energy storage industry, and the outlook to 2030 is even more impressive. Experts at BloombergNEF forecast annual growth of 27%, with annual additions expected to reach 110 GW or 372 GWh by 2030, more than two and a half times the 2023 installations. This momentum is fueled by targeted subsidies and policy reforms that favor energy storage projects. New markets are opening up around the world that are increasingly relying on energy storage solutions to meet their capacity requirements. The Asia-Pacific region in particular, led by China, is seeing strong growth, accounting for almost half of global access. But what is actually happening deep in the West, in South America, but also in Latin America? We explore this question in this episode with Markus Vlasits, NewCharge Energy and Patricia Tatto, ATA Renewables. Timeline: 03:13 Overview of the global energy storage market?
