The history of the energy storage industry can be traced back to the early 19th century, when people began to use mechanical and chemical energy storage technologies to store electrical energy.
China has included large-scale energy storage technology in the National Energy Plan during the 12th Five-Year Plan Period and has been actively guiding and promoting the development of the energy storage industry. 1.3. Demands and functions of energy storage technology in power systems 1.3.1.
In January 2022, the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration jointly issued the Implementation Plan for the Development of New Energy Storage during the 14th Five-Year Plan Period, emphasizing the fundamental role of new energy storage technologies in a new power system.
In terms of output, global residential energy storage shipments in 2020 reached 4.44GWh, a year-on-year increase of 44.2%, with Europe and the US being the top players. In the European market, Germany recorded the fastest growth.
Experts analyse several key questions, There is an extensive range of application scenarios for industrial and commercial energy storage systems, including industrial parks, data centers, communication base stations, government buildings, shopping malls and hospitals.
This does not augur well for the market in terms of long-term competition. There will be safety risks associated with excessive cost control and an indifference to quality. Independent energy storage stations enjoy good long-term prospects, though this segment is sluggish in the short term.
However, the scale of new independent energy storage stations put into operation in China in the first three quarters of 2022 was approximately 345.5MW, which was significantly lower than planned or under construction stations. The main reason for this may be that investors lack motivation.
Portuguese utility EDP (ELI:EDP) has commenced the operation of the 240-MWh Punta de Talca battery energy storage system (BESS) in Chile, its first in South America. The BESS project required an investment of approximately USD 44 million (EUR 38m). With 23 energy storage projects already approved, totaling an impressive 3,000 MW of capacity, Chile is at the forefront of innovation and efficiency in Latin America. During its recent participation in COP28 in Dubai, Chile not only reaffirmed its commitment to renewable energy, but also. In November 2025, Generadora Metropolitana, a joint venture between AME and EDF Power Solutions Chile, officially announced the commencement of construction on the Dune Plus energy storage project in María Elena, Antofagasta Region, Chile. It proposed a law to allow the tender of 2 GW of BESS at a $2 billion cost.
