The volume of global energy storage capacity additions from batteries increased steadily from 2011 to 2019, when it peaked at 366 megawatts. However, newly installed battery capacities decreased to 124 and 29 megawatts in 2020 and 2021, respectively. This decline was caused by the lockdown measures imposed during the global COVID-19 pandemic, which delayed several energy storage projects around the world. During that period, pumped hydropower energy storage replaced batteries.
