Important energy industry trends

  • Improved energy storage to the rescue of renewables: For a long time, renewable energy sources have been held back due to the lack of large-scale battery energy storage systems. Major players like ABB, Tesla, and Siemens AES are concentrating on improving the battery storage. The battery-based energy storage capacity will grow to as much as 45GW in the next five years according to many industrial reports.
  • Data centers to become more efficient: The data collected, stored, and shared are immensely increasing in this technologically improved world, and people are more inclined towards the use of smartphones, downloads, IoT, and other connected devices. This has increased the power consumption, and the global power usage is expected to reach five percent from two percent in the coming years. Due to this trend, the data centers are driven to become more efficient.
  • The rise of electric vehicles to create an energy ‘demand timebomb’: The government’s pollution control plan to eliminate fossil-fuel powered vehicles has triggered the increase in demand for electric vehicles. This increase in demand for electric vehicles emphasises on the need for more energy to power the vehicles and leads to increased pressure to meet the energy sector demand. This trend will be one of the most prominent energy industry trends to watch out for in 2018.
