Electricity can be stored directly for a short time in capacitors, somewhat longer electrochemically in , and much longer chemically (e.g. hydrogen), mechanically (e.g. pumped hydropower) or as heat. The first pumped hydroelectricity was constructed at the end of the 19th century around in Italy, Austria, and Switzerland. The technique rapidly expanded during the 196. Following the landmark agreement with Saudi Electricity Company (SEC) in early 2025 for the world's largest 12.5GWh grid-side energy storage project, BYD Energy Storage has launched its delivery campaign with unprecedented momentum.
