How this measure is built
- Definition
- Lower endpoint of IEA projected battery storage power installed in data centres globally by 2030.
- Measure
- One slice of Battery storage capacity ( basis: forecast low, form: level, segment: data centre ) . Total rated power capacity of installed battery energy storage systems. Region and period are columns on every record, not slices.
- Limitations
- 1 figure is a projection, drawn dashed and labelled in the table. Values are shown as published; StatOrigin does not revise, fill gaps or convert currencies.
- Verification
- Each value, unit, period and place was checked against its quote before publication. See the methodology and the corrections process.
