To reduce greenhouse gas emissions and meet net zero goals, the power grid must replace fossil fuel power plants with cleaner energy systems that include large-scale energy storage.
To strengthen grid stability and affordability while meeting escalating demand, the US will need an ''all-of-the-above'' approach – one where energy storage plays a foundational role.
This report reviews drivers of grid-scale storage deployment in the United States, identifying progress and barriers to a robust storage landscape, with a focus on the economics of and
Energy storage technologies have the potential to enable several improvements to the grid, such as reducing costs and improving reliability. They could also enable the growth of solar and
Energy storage technologies have the potential to enable several improvements to the grid, such as reducing costs and improving reliability. They
Technological breakthroughs and evolving market dynamics have triggered a remarkable surge in energy storage deployment across the electric grid in front of and behind-the-meter (BTM).
Energy storage is being deployed at unprecedented rates – over 15 GW of batteries were added to the grid in the US in 2025, according to EIA data. And there is no sign of this slowing down.
Energy storage offers multiple benefits to the energy grid and electricity customers. It facilitates the integration of renewable energy resources, such as wind and solar, into the grid by keeping supply
Illinois, where lawmakers passed a major energy bill including a storage target, virtual power plant requirements, and an interconnection working group; and Massachusetts, where
One attribute that makes energy storage unique is its scalability. It can be implemented as a large utility-scale project to help meet peak energy demand and stabilize the grid, or as a small
