Global energy storage market and technology evolution

Overview

The energy storage sector is experiencing strategic shifts in supply chain management and technological development. Market competition has led to varying bankability ratings among major players, with CATL receiving a AAA upgrade while Wärtsilä was downgraded to BB. To navigate international market pressures and maintain access to the US market, Chinese supplier Sungrow has planned to procure lithium iron phosphate cells from South Korea’s Samsung SDI.

Simultaneously, efforts to enhance supply chain security and grid stability are driving new technological advancements. In the United States, General Motors is partnering with Peak Energy to develop sodium-ion battery cells for stationary energy storage, aiming for commercial manufacturing by 2029 to reduce reliance on Chinese raw materials. Additionally, XL Batteries and ENEOS Holdings are collaborating on organic flow battery technology to provide long-duration storage solutions for grid stability.
