Company Milestones and Developments

Saft has secured a contract in 2025 to deliver a 1 GWh battery system in Fukushima, Japan, capable of supplying 240 MW for four hours. In Belgium, its containerized solutions will add 25 MW/75 MWh to the grid by the end of 2025.

GS Yuasa has expanded deployment of large-scale containerized systems in Japan, building on earlier orders exceeding 290 MWh, while enhancing microgrid solutions for industrial and utility clients.

C&D Technologies has extended its TEL-HT range of high-temperature telecom VRLA batteries, designed for outdoor cabinets, with service life expectations exceeding 12 years.

Hoppecke continues to expand the grid | power VR M series for backup and UPS systems in energy-critical sectors such as rail, telecom, and nuclear facilities.

East Penn Manufacturing has advanced its Deka Unigy II series of modular VRLA systems, ranging up to 2,000 Ah, targeting telecom base stations and large data-center backup applications.

Market Trends

Record Capacity Growth

2024 marked the largest annual increase in utility-scale storage with more than 10 GW added in the U.S., and 2025 is expected to surpass this with over 18 GW. This confirms batteries as the fastest-rising dispatchable capacity resource in multiple markets.

Tariffs and Cost Volatility

Proposed U.S. tariffs on imported components could raise system costs by up to 30% in 2025. Under high-tariff cases, buildout between 2025 and 2027 could fall by more than half compared to baseline projections, accelerating localization of supply chains.

Cost Reduction Trajectory

Despite tariff pressure, long-term cost curves remain downward. Four-hour system costs are projected to range between US$147-339/kWh in 2025, with learning-curve and scaling effects continuing to drive reductions globally.

Data Centers and UPS Integration

Data centers are adopting lithium-ion UPS systems at scale. Benefits include smaller footprints and longer lifetimes, though fire-safety regulations are tightening following recent incidents in North America and Asia.

Telecom Sector Transition

Telecom networks are shifting from purely backup power to grid-interactive storage. Operators are now using batteries for peak shaving and virtual power plant services, improving network resilience while generating new revenue streams.

Regulation and Safety Standards

Safety standards such as NFPA 855 and UL 9540A are being adopted more broadly, and in August 2025 U.S. authorities issued new guidance on community safety for battery energy storage, emphasizing siting and fire management.

European Policy Drivers

The EU Battery Regulation came into force in February 2024, with mandatory carbon footprint reporting by February 2025 and Battery Passports by 2027, pushing traceability and sustainability requirements throughout the supply chain.

Chemistry Developments

Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) dominates current deployments for its cost and safety profile. Sodium-ion and flow batteries are gaining attention for long-duration applications, though lithium remains the mainstream choice in 2025 procurements.
