While some regions of the United States have made progress integrating energy storage into energy resource portfolios, several
Today, technology advances and dramatic cost decreases combine to set up battery energy storage as the savior for both renewables and the overarching electric grid as
These innovative CO2 batteries from Energy Dome promise long-duration energy storage for the grid, and reliable 24/7 clean power for data centers.
From iron-air batteries to molten salt storage, a new wave of energy storage innovation is unlocking long-duration, low-cost resilience
Los Angeles, Calif. – Clean Power Alliance (CPA), the nation''s leading green power provider and California''s largest community choice energy aggregator, continues to
From iron-air batteries to molten salt storage, a new wave of energy storage innovation is unlocking long-duration, low-cost resilience for tomorrow''s grid.
Energy storage serves important grid functions, including time-shifting energy across hours, days, weeks, or months; regulating grid frequency; and ensuring flexibility to balance supply and
In 2025, capacity growth from battery storage could set a record as we expect 18.2 GW of utility-scale battery storage to be added to the grid. U.S. battery storage already achieved record
While some regions of the United States have made progress integrating energy storage into energy resource portfolios, several organized electricity markets have yet to
The US Energy Storage Monitor is a quarterly publication of Wood Mackenzie Power & Renewables and the American Clean Power Association (ACP). Each quarter, new industry

Under some conditions, excess renewable energy is produced and, without storage, is curtailed 2, 3; under others, demand is greater than generation from renewables. Grid-scale energy-storage (GSES) systems are therefore needed to store excess renewable energy to be released on demand, when power generation is insufficient 4.
The rise in renewable energy utilization is increasing demand for battery energy-storage technologies (BESTs). BESTs based on lithium-ion batteries are being developed and deployed. However, this technology alone does not meet all the requirements for grid-scale energy storage.
The use of energy stored in a grid-connected battery system to meet on-site energy demands, reducing the reliance on the external grid. The gradual loss of stored energy in a battery over time due to internal chemical reactions, even when it is not connected to a load or in use.
In this Review, we describe BESTs being developed for grid-scale energy storage, including high-energy, aqueous, redox flow, high-temperature and gas batteries. Battery technologies support various power system services, including providing grid support services and preventing curtailment.
