This growth marks a 30% increase since April 2024, underscoring the state's swift progress in building out clean energy infrastructure, especially during a summer marked by record-breaking heat. Within the past five years, California has grown its battery storage capacity by more than 15 times, up from just 770 MW in 2019.
Energy storage deployment in California is rapidly accelerating and procurement has increased by 1,250% since 2019. California is leading deployment with over 13,000 MW of storage capacity across nearly 155,000 sites. By 2045, the state expects to reach 52,000 MW of storage.
Hailing the “remarkable progress,” trade group California Energy Storage Alliance (CESA) noted that this represents 3,000MW of growth in the last six months alone. When the CEC published its previous edition of the Survey in April, the Golden State had just passed the 10GW mark.
The Energy Storage Systems Act (2010) was the first state legislation codifying an energy storage procurement policy, set at an aggressive 1,825 MW by 2020 with BTM carveouts. In 2024, California reaffirmed ambitious storage goals and set a long-duration energy storage target, planning for 2 GW by 2037.
Within the past five years, California has grown its battery storage capacity by more than 15 times, up from just 770 MW in 2019. To put this progress into perspective, it took the state nearly five years to reach 10,000 MW in early 2024 but just six months to add the most recent 3,000 MW.
