Utility-Scale Renewable Energy Storage Market To Reach $33.6B By 2018

0

The global market for utility-scale renewable energy storage technologies is projected to reach $33.6 billion by 2018, primarily driven by the growth of wind energy and solar power, according to a new report by Global Industry Analysts Inc. (GIA).

Developments in renewable energy storage have the potential to tilt the energy balance in favor of renewables, which have been hampered by reliability issues triggered by their intermittent and variable output characteristics.

According to the report, Europe and the U.S. represent the largest markets for utility-scale renewable energy storage. The U.S. is the fastest-growing regional market, with a projected compound annual growth rate of 40% over the analysis period.
