new energy storage gap

What is the energy storage gap?

Energy storage systems can capture excess renewable energy in times of abundance and discharge energy when sun and wind are scarce. Unfortunately, the development of storage assets has not kept pace with renewables, creating a massive storage gap. In this post, we will explore the storage gap and discuss three hypotheses on how it may get filled.

Should we invest in the storage gap?

The severity of the storage gap has created an opportunity to build transformational startups that will fundamentally change the shape of energy generation and distribution. As we look to invest in the space, we are exploring three hypotheses:

Do energy storage systems cover green energy plateaus?

Energy storage systems must develop to cover green energy plateaus. We need additional capacity to store the energy generated from wind and solar power for periods when there is less wind and sun. Batteries are at the core of the recent growth in energy storage and battery prices are dropping considerably.

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.

Why is it important to close the storage gap?

One way to understand the importance of closing the storage gap is to look at the disparity between power demand and supply of renewables throughout the day – the so-called “duck curve” (look at the yellow line to see the duck):

Why is energy storage so important?

There is a growing need to increase the capacity for storing the energy generated from the burgeoning wind and solar industries for periods when there is less wind and sun. This is driving unprecedented growth in the energy storage sector and many countries have ambitions to participate in the global storage supply chains.
