In the “14th Five-Year Plan” for the development of new energy storage released on March 21, 2022, it was proposed that by 2025, new energy storage should enter the stage of large-scale development, and by 2030, new energy storage should achieve comprehensive market-oriented development.
Storage enables electricity systems to remain in balance despite variations in wind and solar availability, allowing for cost-effective deep decarbonization while maintaining reliability. The Future of Energy Storage report is an essential analysis of this key component in decarbonizing our energy infrastructure and combating climate change.
This report is one in a series of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory's Storage Futures Study (SFS) publications. The SFS is a multiyear research project that explores the role and impact of energy storage in the evolution and operation of the U.S. power sector.
In January 2022, the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration jointly issued the Implementation Plan for the Development of New Energy Storage during the 14th Five-Year Plan Period, emphasizing the fundamental role of new energy storage technologies in a new power system.
The energy storage industry is going through a critical period of transition from the early commercial stage to development on a large scale. Whether it can thrive in the next stage depends on its economics.
It enhances our understanding, from a macro perspective, of the development and evolution patterns of different specific energy storage technologies, predicts potential technological breakthroughs and innovations in the future, and provides more comprehensive and detailed basis for stakeholders in their technological innovation strategies.
Energy storage is not a new technology. The earliest gravity-based pumped storage system was developed in Switzerland in 1907 and has since been widely applied globally. However, from an industry perspective, energy storage is still in its early stages of development.
This updated SRM presents a clarified mission and vision, a strategic approach, and a path forward to achieving specific objectives that empower a self-sustaining energy storage ecosystem that develops, delivers, and deploys breakthrough solutions to meet a range of real-world applications, across multiple time horizons.

International Building Code (IBC): Following IBC 2024 Chapter 27 Section 2702.1.3, emergency or standby power systems must be installed following the guidelines outlined in the International Fire Code IFC), NFPA 70: National Electrical Code (NEC) and NFPA 111: Standard on Stored Electrical Energy Emergency and Standby Power Systems.
Figure 1: A simplified project single line showing both a battery energy storage system (BESS) and an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). The UPS only feeds critical loads, never losing power.
The ESS must be listed in accordance with UL 9540, the Standard for Safety of Energy Storage Systems and Equipment. This can be indicated by a UL label or a label from another recognized testing authority if it meets the UL standard. IFC 1207.4.12 clarifies that a walk-in BESS enclosure is considered effectively unoccupied.
Battery energy storage represents a critical step forward in building sustainability and resilience, offering a versatile solution that, when applied within the boundaries of stringent codes and standards, ensures safety and reliability.
IFC 1207.6.1.2.1 mandates that battery enclosure ventilation must operate on standby power and comply with IFC 1203.2.5. Manufacturers typically design the enclosures with this requirement in mind.
Energy storage solutions refer to technologies or systems that can store excess energy produced during times of low demand for later use during times of high demand. These solutions help to balance the su.
