Global energy storage deployments are projected to surge by 45% year-on-year in 2026, driven by rapid expansion in data centre on-site storage and emerging markets such as India, UK, Germany, and others. Rising lithium prices and protectionist policies in the US, EU, Japan, and others are reshaping supply chains and accelerating domestic production incentives.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Climate Tech, and 6 sources have reported it between 16 Oct 2026 and 26 Oct 2026.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You will face rising costs and supply barriers from lithium and foreign tech restrictions while new markets open for energy storage paired with solar. Prepare to navigate local content rules and seek partnerships beyond China to unlock growth.
