Increased demand for storage in Germany, Italy and the United States
Three key factors are driving the rapid growth in global demand for energy storage: the electricity market, political support and economic viability.
Energy storage in the US, Europe and other regions has the potential to generate significant energy trade and revenues.
These storage facilities are being facilitated by the falling cost of systems, mainly those using lithium batteries, and by subsidies offered by certain local policies.
