When Hornsdale Power Reserve opened in 2017, it was the biggest battery energy storage system in the world. Four years later, when Neoen opened the 300 MW Victorian Big Battery in 2021, it was the joint-largest (by power capacity) in the world.
The first batch of Tesla's Megapack energy storage systems produced at its Shanghai Megafactory is set to depart the port heading for Australia on Friday, the company told the Global Times on Friday. The batteries produced at the Shanghai facility will serve both the domestic and wider Asia-Pacific markets.
State and federal funding has helped the buildout of battery energy storage in the NEM. Of the 25 systems currently commercially operating, 9 have received some sort of direct funding towards their capex. Most of this has come through ARENA, a federally funded agency that supports pre-commercial investments.
Alongside Neoen, other private developers have deployed a further 1.1 GW of battery energy storage capacity. This is led by Eku Energy (through its two joint ventures with Shell and Engie), Edify Energy, and Vena Energy. Private developers account for three-quarters of BESS capacity operational today.
The global industrial and commercial energy storage market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 250% in the past two years. Containerized energy storage solutions now account for approximately 45% of all new commercial and industrial storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 42% market share, driven by corporate sustainability initiatives and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 18-28%. Europe follows closely with 35% market share, where standardized industrial storage designs have cut installation timelines by 65% compared to traditional built-in-place systems. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 50% CAGR, with manufacturing scale reducing system prices by 20% annually. Emerging markets in Africa and Latin America are adopting industrial storage solutions for peak shaving and backup power, with typical payback periods of 2-4 years. Major commercial projects now deploy clusters of 15+ systems creating storage networks with 80+MWh capacity at costs below $270/kWh for large-scale industrial applications.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving industrial energy storage performance while reducing costs. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal operating conditions with 45% less energy consumption, extending battery lifespan to 20+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $85/kWh to $40/kWh since 2023. Smart integration features now allow multiple industrial systems to operate as coordinated energy networks, increasing cost savings by 30% through peak shaving and demand charge management. Safety innovations including multi-stage fire suppression and thermal runaway prevention systems have reduced insurance premiums by 35% for industrial storage projects. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple system additions at just $200/kWh for incremental capacity. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with commercial and industrial projects typically achieving payback in 3-5 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard industrial systems (1-2MWh) starting at $330,000 and large-scale systems (3-6MWh) from $600,000, with volume discounts available for enterprise orders.
