The flywheel energy storage market draws demand from five core end-use sectors that shape its overall structure, with utilities and grid stabilization holding the largest share at 35% due to increasing reliance on flywheels for frequency regulation, renewable balancing. . The global flywheel energy storage market was valued at USD 1. 3 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach a value of USD 1. Flywheels are used for uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems in data centers due to their instant response. . Flywheel energy storage (FES) works by spinning a rotor (flywheel) and maintaining the energy in the system as rotational energy. Flywheels store the energy created by turning an internal rotor at high speeds-slowing the rotor releases the energy back to the grid when needed.
