Charging for Stability: Energy Storage in the U.S.

Exciting Updates from the 10th IBESA U.S. Energy Storage Day – The energy landscape is evolving at a lightning pace, and the recent gathering at RE+ Northeast in Boston shed light on the monumental strides in battery storage capacity across the US.

Some key takeaways:

• Rapid Growth: The US has witnessed an unprecedented surge in battery storage capacity, with large-scale installations leading the charge. As of 2023, the capacity for large-scale battery storage has soared to approximately 15,396 MW, marking a significant milestone in our journey towards a more sustainable energy future.
• Small-Scale Innovations: While large-scale projects dominate headlines, let’s not overlook the remarkable progress in small-scale battery storage. With a capacity of 2,080 MW as of 2023, these installations play a vital role in decentralizing energy production and enhancing grid resilience.
• Continuous Expansion: Between 2018 and 2023, the US added a staggering 14,556 MW of large-scale battery storage capacity and 1,846 MW of small-scale battery storage capacity. This exponential growth underscores our commitment to embracing clean energy solutions and mitigating climate change.

The 10th IBESA U.S. Energy Storage Day provided invaluable insights into the evolving energy landscape and reaffirmed the nation’s commitment to harnessing the power of batteries for a sustainable future.

Let’s keep charging ahead!
