Key Highlights
Between 2025 and 2035, global power demand is projected to grow at a CAGR of ~4%, with data centers emerging as an increasingly significant source of additional demand.
A rapid pace of renewable installations continues to bolster the contribution of renewables to the overall power mix. Solar PV and onshore wind continue to represent the key drivers of this growth, with the two technologies accounting for 20% and 15%, respectively, of total power generation by 2035.
However, despite the increasingly global uptake of renewables, energy storage capacity remains regionally uneven, with Asia-Pacific dominating the market, and set to account for ~62% of global storage capacity by the end of the decade.
According to current project announcements, global energy storage capacity could reach approximately ~1,683GW by 2030, exceeding the IEA’s 1,500GW target by over 180GW. Although currently on track, this projection assumes a high level of project execution and therefore leaves limited room for project delays or cancellations.
