Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Lithium-ion Battery Energy Storage Market

The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic influenced consumers' perception of their battery storage needs. The battery technology was mostly stable during the pandemic, which increased the capacity in developing countries. For instance, in comparison to 2020, the mix of grid-scale battery technologies stayed mostly stable in 2021. Newly installed capacity continued to be stored in lithium-ion batteries. At the end of 2021, the installed grid-scale battery storage capacity reached 16 GW, more than the previous five years. The number of installations increased significantly by 60% in 2021 over 2020, as more than 6 GW of storage capacity was positioned. This is the second year in a row that installations have increased significantly. With additions on the gigawatt scale, the US, China, and Europe took the top three spots in the BESS market. In 2021, the amount invested globally in battery energy storage was ~US$ 10 billion. Based on the current pipeline of projects and new capacity targets established by governments of various countries, battery energy storage investment is predicted to record high significance, following strong growth in 2021. Gradually the energy industry is rising which will a have a significant impact in the lithium-ion battery energy storage market.

In North America, the US held the largest share in lithium-ion battery energy storage market. In the country, the rising awareness regarding adopting renewable energy and increasing investments in solar and wind energy projects are propelling the demand for lithium-ion batteries for energy storage. In Q2 of 2022, the construction of a 300 MW 7V Solar Ranch power plant started in Texas with an investment of US$ 282 million. The project is expected to be completed by Q4 of 2023. In 2022, the construction of the Fayette County solar farm started in Texas, and it will have a capacity of 240 MW. An investment of US$ 280 million was made for this project. In March 2022, Enel Green Power, in North America, announced that they had started the construction of the 300 MW Seven Cowboy wind project in Oklahoma with an investment of US$ 3 billion. When operational, the plant is expected to generate over 1.3 TWh of energy each year. Thus, growing investments in renewable energy in the US fuel the lithium-ion battery energy storage market size in the country.
