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.

Will energy storage grow in 2024?

Allison Weis, Global Head of Energy Storage at Wood Mackenzie Another record-breaking year is expected for energy storage in the United States (US), with Wood Mackenzie forecasting 45% growth in 2024 after 100% growth from 2022 to 2023.

Is energy storage a viable resource for future power grids?

With declining technology costs and increasing renewable deployment, energy storage is poised to be a valuable resource on future power grids—but what is the total market potential for storage technologies, and what are the key drivers of cost-optimal deployment?

How many battery storage projects are coming to Texas?

Developers expect to bring more than 300 utility-scale battery storage projects on line in the United States by 2025, and around 50% of the planned capacity installations will be in Texas. The five largest new U.S. battery storage projects that are scheduled to be deployed in California and Texas in 2024 or 2025 are:
