  • [New] Industry analysts expect energy storage to represent a significant share of global battery demand in the coming years, especially in regions accelerating renewable energy adoption. Deligreen Charger Store
  • [New] China's new pricing policy for energy storage has triggered a sharp upgrade to expected BESS demand, now seen accounting for 42% of lithium use by 2035, up from 8% in 2020. Yahoo Finance
  • [New] Citi forecasts CATL's sales will grow 31% in 2026, with energy storage batteries jumping 45% and EV batteries rising 27%. youth4planet
  • [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] Stationary energy storage demands can be met by more than 100% by 2050 through the second use of EoL EV batteries. 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] The research and proof-of-concept validates the exciting potential of quantum batteries to achieve rapid, scalable charging and energy storage at room temperature, laying the groundwork for next-gen energy solutions. ScienceDaily
