What is the future of energy storage?

But measuring the value of energy storage is inherently complex—and future systems will likely include multiple storage technologies, adding new complexity. To answer the big questions around the role of storage in our future grid, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has launched the multiyear Storage Futures Study (SFS).

Are energy storage installations going down?

The recent surge in energy storage installations in the U.S. is seen in both residential and grid-scale sectors, while commercial and industrial saw a slight decline quarter-on-quarter, according to the recent Wood Mackenzie and American Clean Power Association (ACP) US Energy Storage Monitor report

Why is the United States a leader in stationary storage deployments?

In contrast to growth in transportation, the United States is a leader in global stationary storage deployments. This is usually because renewables are often the lowest-cost generation source, but require storage to mitigate variability.

How many GW will the storage industry deploy in 2024?

Across all segments, the industry is expected to deploy 12.8 GW/ 36.9 GWh in 2024. The grid-scale segment is projected to increase 32% year-over-year with 11 GW/32.7 GWh deployed by year-end, and 62 GW cumulatively from 2024-2028. Over the next five-years,12 GW of distributed storage will be deployed.

Is diurnal storage the future of energy storage?

"We found energy storage is extremely competitive on an economic basis, and there are rapidly expanding opportunities for diurnal storage in the power sector," said Will Frazier, lead author of Storage Futures Study: Economic Potential of Diurnal Storage in the U.S. Power Sector.

How did the energy storage industry perform in the quarter?

With 3,983 MW of new capacity additions, the quarter saw a 358% increase compared to the same period in 2022. “The energy storage industry continues its incredible growth trajectory, with a record quarter helping drive home a banner year for the technology,” said John Hensley, ACP’s Vice President of Markets and Policy Analysis.
