[New] With growing production and EoL supply of LFP, solely using EoL LFP EV batteries in second use applications is sufficient to meet the annual stationary energy storage demand in California by 2050.
PubMed Central (PMC)
[New] Assuming using EoL EV batteries in the second use, around 196.8 of 227.4 GWh of the total cumulative stationary energy storage demand would need to be covered by NMC and NCA batteries between 2025 and 2050.
PubMed Central (PMC)
[New] The long-duration energy storage landscape in 2026 is characterised by technology pluralism - no single solution dominates across all use cases, and the optimal portfolio depends on discharge duration requirements, geographic constraints, risk tolerance, and time horizon.
PatSnap
[New] Great Britain has introduced a long-duration energy storage cap and floor scheme requiring projects to discharge at full power for at least eight hours, with an indicative capacity range of 2.7 to 7.7 GWh by 2035.
IEA
[New] Energy Storage: The Megapack business is on track to represent 20% of Tesla's total profit by 2027, providing a stable counter-cyclical hedge to auto sales.
The Chronicle-Journal
[New] Global energy storage capacity will have to increase by 1,500 gigawatts by 2030 to facilitate the amount of growth in new solar PV and wind required to achieve the Paris Agreement target of net-zero emissions by 2050.
Corporate Knights
[New] Energy storage demand in the battery sector could account for 31% of overall lithium consumption by end-2026, up from 23% the previous year.
AZoMining
[New] The automotive sector will remain the dominant end-use, accounting for around 60% of total lithium demand, but the share held by energy storage systems (ESS) has climbed from 9% three years ago to an expected 18% in 2026.
