Energy storage technology allows us to meet demand accordingly by either storing or releasing excess electricity. Through these solutions, energy storage will allow 21 st century society to solve some of the major problems it is currently facing.
The lack of direct support for energy storage from governments, the non-announcement of confirmed needs for storage through official government sources, and the existence of incomplete and unclear processes in licensing also hurt attracting investors in the field of storage (Ugarte et al.).
Despite this rapid growth, China’s energy storage industry is still in its infancy, and crises has arrived much earlier than expected. A persisting price war and overcapacity weigh on profits Back in 2021 and 2022, battery supply was the biggest bottleneck for the energy storage supply chain.
As the competition continues to intensify, many newly established Chinese storage companies will collapse. It will be unfortunate, of course, but it may present a good opportunity for the Chinese energy storage industry to reflect on how to achieve long-term and sustainable growth.

As the demand for cleaner, renewable energy grows in response to environmental concerns and increasing energy requirements, the integration of intermittent renewable sources necessitates energy storage systems (ESS) for effective utilization.
Inadequate market design in Europe is more in favor of traditional technologies and pushes the market towards more use of old technologies rather than preparing for the presence of emerging technologies, and this can affect and reduce the speed of development and spread of new energy storage technologies (Ruz and Pollitt, 2016).
