Prices: Both lithium-ion battery pack and energy storage system prices are expected to fall again in 2024. Rapid growth of battery manufacturing has outpaced demand, which is leading to significant downward pricing pressure as battery makers try to recoup investment and reduce losses tied to underutilization of their plants.
These developments have turned this area in southern Guinea close to the border with Sierra Leone into a hub for the development of lithium prospection in the country. In April, Guinea Best Minerals applied for two lithium reconnaissance licences close to one of the areas requested by African Lithium, with other companies also expressing interest.
Previously best known for its diamonds, Guinea's Kissidougou area near the border with Sierra Leone has shown enough potential to convince one company to explore for lithium there. On 20 April, Global Mining Ressources filed an application for a permit to assess the lithium potential of the area.
This report highlights the most noteworthy developments we expect in the energy storage industry this year. Prices: Both lithium-ion battery pack and energy storage system prices are expected to fall again in 2024.
Stationary storage additions should reach another record, at 57 gigawatts (136 gigawatt-hours) in 2024, up 40% relative to 2023 in gigawatt terms. We expect stationary storage project durations to grow as use-cases evolve to deliver more energy, and more homes to add batteries to their new solar installations.
Around the same time, from late March to early April, three separate companies that appear to be targeting lithium were registered in Conakry: Guinea Lithium, African Lithium Mining Resources Guinée and Guinean Lithium Ressources .
