How battery storage can realise its enormous potential
The market for battery energy storage is estimated to grow to $10.84bn in 2026. The fall in battery technology prices and the increasing need for grid stability are just two reasons GlobalData have predicted for this growth, with the integration of renewable power holding significant sway over the power market.
Battery pack prices reported below US$100/kWh for first time
The research group reported lower than US$100/kWh on pack prices for e-buses in China, but Frith said that we will see the average price across the battery storage industry "pass this point" in a few years. Frith added that, if the cost of raw materials rebounded and returned to their 2018 highs, this would "would only delay" the
