In 2024, the battery storage market attracted $21.1 billion in private equity (PE) investments, making it one of the fastest-growing sectors in energy ⚡️ Companies like EQT Group, Partners Group and Quinbrook Infrastructure Partners Infrastructure are doubling down on this space, seeing returns of up to 30% and payback periods as short as three years 🔋Batteries are becoming a critical part of modern energy systems, much like LNG terminals and oil storage facilities. They solve the intermittency problem of renewable energy by storing excess electricity and selling it during peak demand hours. A 90% decline in battery costs since 2010 has further accelerated market expansion, making large-scale investments even more viable But as with any booming sector, risks remain. In the U.S., the Trump administration is shifting back toward traditional energy. On January 20, 2025, Trump signed an executive order encouraging oil exploration and drilling on federal lands. This will likely lead to an increase in leased drilling areas, further boosting production, which already hit a record 13.5 million barrels per day in late 2024. Additionally, Trump lifted Biden’s ban on leasing new offshore drilling zones, a move that could reshape the global oil market 🛢️ Oil companies are gaining new opportunities, while battery storage investors are betting on long-term shifts in the energy landscape. If oil prices remain low, traditional energy may retain its dominance. But if governments continue to push renewables, battery storage could become the backbone of the new energy economy. 🧐 Which scenario do you find more likely?
