Annual Report | LDES Council

Annual Report 2024

In its inaugural Annual Report, the Long Duration Energy Storage Council presents a deployment roadmap to spur action among key stakeholders and decisionmakers. The report offers a current perspective and accounting on the global policy, regulatory and market environment for LDES, along with updated data and industry use cases.

This report was developed with support from Systemiq. The LDES Council is grateful for the support Systemiq provided in the preparation of this report. We acknowledge the support of Systemiq in developing this report, especially through their contributions to the enabler framework, action checklists, deployment maps, and charts.

LDES Deployment Roadmap

LDES technologies are essential for the decarbonisation of energy systems, including the power system and industrial heat.

LDES must scale up to 50 times faster than is currently projected, from the current 0.22 terawatt (TW) deployment pipeline that is recorded in the LDES Council’s project database, to as much as 8 TW of capacity that is estimated to be needed by 2040.

The LDES Council has identified seven enablers, critical strategies and actions for policymakers, regulators, technology providers, and end users to drive the accelerated rollout of LDES. The Deploying LDES: Implementation Best Practices analysis points the way forward, offering a concise framework for scalable, sustainable solutions toward a resilient energy future.
