The rapid rollout of BESS has significantly boosted overall demand for lithium-ion batteries. BESS remained the fastest-growing major end-use segment. Iola Hughes, Head of Research at Benchmark Mineral Intelligence, tells ESS News that 2026 is set to be another strong year for BESS, with forecast additions exceeding 450 GWh and no material supply constraints in sight. Meanwhile, the initial impact of rising lithium prices is already visible at. BESS allows electricity to be stored when supply exceeds demand and released when demand is higher than supply. Morgan's recent analysis shows that shipments of stationary energy storage. The battery energy storage system (BESS) industry is set for significant expansion, driven by the accelerating integration of renewables, growing demand for grid stability, and the rising need for efficient energy management across utility, commercial, and residential sectors.

A flywheel energy storage system can be described as a mechanical battery, in that it does not create electricity, it simply converts and stores the energy as kinetic energy until it is needed.
The use of new materials and compact designs will increase the specific energy and energy density to make flywheels more competitive to batteries. Other opportunities are new applications in energy harvest, hybrid energy systems, and flywheel's secondary functionality apart from energy storage.
First-generation flywheel energy-storage systems use a large steel flywheel rotating on mechanical bearings. Newer systems use carbon-fiber composite rotors that have a higher tensile strength than steel and can store much more energy for the same mass. To reduce friction, magnetic bearings are sometimes used instead of mechanical bearings.
A flywheel operates on the principle of storing energy through its rotating mass. Think of it as a mechanical storage tool that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy for storage. This energy is stored in the form of rotational kinetic energy.
These unique properties give flywheel systems many advantages over other competing energy storage systems, particularly regarding performance, adaptability and longevity.
Flywheel energy storage systems have a long working life if periodically maintained (>25 years). The cycle numbers of flywheel energy storage systems are very high (>100,000). In addition, this storage technology is not affected by weather and climatic conditions . One of the most important issues of flywheel energy storage systems is safety.
The physical arrangement of batteries can be designed to match a wide variety of configurations, whereas a flywheel at a minimum must occupy a certain area and volume, because the energy it stores is proportional to its rotational inertia and to the square of its rotational speed.
