Currently, over 80 % of wind capacity and over 60 % of solar capacity are invested by state-owned enterprises, with funding sourced from enterprise investment capital, bank loans, and central government investment subsidies . The predominant policy instruments include direct provision and fiscal expenditure to support investment.
The fact that solar and wind will be responsible for the majority of investment in the energy supply sector indicates that more efforts beyond 2030 are required, with trillions of dollars involved [, , ].
Accelerating energy transition towards renewables is central to net-zero emissions. However, building a global power system dominated by solar and wind energy presents immense challenges. Here, we demonstrate the potential of a globally interconnected solar-wind system to meet future electricity demands.
The shifts of wind and solar investment across periods are potentially driven by increasing electricity demand from end-uses in the early years to offset increased emissions from coal power generation.
In the core scenario, results indicate that average annual wind and solar investment needs are $317 billion per year between 2020 and 2060, or 2.3 % of China's GDP in 2020. The average annual investment is $340 billion if we only look at the period between 2024 and 2060. The overall investment reaches $12.7 trillion for the entire 40 years.
Our research reveals a projected annual investment requirement of $317 billion in wind and solar energy infrastructure, representing a threefold increase compared to the historical average of approximately $100 billion per year.
The global solar storage container market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 200% in the past two years. Pre-fabricated containerized solutions now account for approximately 35% of all new utility-scale storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 40% market share, driven by streamlined permitting processes and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 15-25%. Europe follows closely with 32% market share, where standardized container designs have cut installation timelines by 60% compared to traditional built-in-place systems. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 45% CAGR, with China's manufacturing scale reducing container prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets in Africa and Latin America are adopting mobile container solutions for rapid electrification, with typical payback periods of 3-5 years. Major projects now deploy clusters of 20+ containers creating storage farms with 100+MWh capacity at costs below $280/kWh.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving solar storage container performance while reducing costs. Next-generation thermal management systems maintain optimal operating temperatures with 40% less energy consumption, extending battery lifespan to 15+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $80/kWh to $45/kWh since 2023. Smart integration features now allow multiple containers to operate as coordinated virtual power plants, increasing revenue potential by 25% through peak shaving and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage fire suppression and gas detection systems have reduced insurance premiums by 30% for container-based projects. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple container additions at just $210/kWh for incremental capacity. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with commercial projects typically achieving payback in 4-7 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show 20ft containers (1-2MWh) starting at $350,000 and 40ft containers (3-6MWh) from $650,000, with volume discounts available for large orders.
