In July 2026, 18GWh of large-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) capacity came online worldwide, with China accounting for 70%. The year-to-date global BESS deployment total reached 154GWh, marking a 27% increase compared to the previous period.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Climate Tech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

China's dominant share in July's 18GWh battery storage capacity signals shifted supply chain focus and market demand that you must align with this quarter. Building ties or sourcing outside China may expose your project to delays and higher costs.
