Global Energy Storage and Grids Pledge: Accelerating Clean Flexibility for Energy Transition
Key Ideas
  • 58 countries and 48 organizations signed the Global Energy Storage and Grids Pledge at COP29, aiming to increase capacity to 1.5 TW by 2030.
  • Ember suggests 1 MW of storage for every 5 MW of renewables by 2030, with ample battery manufacturing capacity and dropping prices.
  • Long Duration Energy Storage Council highlights the need for over 1 TW of LDES capacity by 2030 to achieve net zero, complementing the storage target.
  • Various storage technologies like pumped storage hydropower, molten salt, and green hydrogen are crucial for grid stability and reducing renewables buildout needs.
At COP29, the Global Renewables Alliance announced the Global Energy Storage and Grids Pledge, signed by 58 countries and 48 organizations, to increase global capacity to 1.5 TW by 2030. Ember's analysis supports the feasibility of this goal, with 1 MW of storage needed for every 5 MW of renewables installed. Long Duration Energy Storage Council emphasizes the need for over 1 TW of LDES capacity by 2030 to achieve net zero. The article discusses the necessity of storage solutions for grid stability, especially during renewable energy fluctuations. Various technologies like pumped storage hydropower, molten salt, and green hydrogen are highlighted as crucial components in the energy transition.
