Energy storage industry mission and vision

What is the energy storage roadmap?

First established in 2020 and founded on EPRI's mission of advancing safe, reliable, affordable, and clean energy for society, the Energy Storage Roadmap envisioned a desired future for energy storage applications and industry practices in 2025 and identified the challenges in realizing that vision.

How can energy storage be used in future states?

Target future states collaboratively developed as visions for the beneficial use of energy storage. Click on an individual state to explore identified gaps to achievement. Energy storage is essential to a clean and modern electricity grid and is positioned to enable the ambitious goals for renewable energy and power system resilience.

What is the Energy Storage Association?

The U.S. Energy Storage Association is the leading national voice that advocates and advances the energy storage industry to realize its 100 GW by 2030 goal, resulting in a better world through a more resilient, efficient, sustainable, and affordable electricity grid.

What is the future of energy storage?

Storage enables electricity systems to remain in balance despite variations in wind and solar availability, allowing for cost-effective deep decarbonization while maintaining reliability. The Future of Energy Storage report is an essential analysis of this key component in decarbonizing our energy infrastructure and combating climate change.

Why is energy storage important?

Energy storage is a potential substitute for, or complement to, almost every aspect of a power system, including generation, transmission, and demand flexibility. Storage should be co-optimized with clean generation, transmission systems, and strategies to reward consumers for making their electricity use more flexible.

What is integrated energy storage?

Integrated energy storage refers to an approach to energy storage that identifies synergies within diverse conversion and storage solutions. A new seminar series hosted by NREL is advancing discussion between government, industry, and academia about how hybrid systems and collaborative research will achieve clean energy goals.
