As of 2023, there is approximately 8.8 GW of operational utility-scale battery storage in the United States. The installation of utility-scale storage in the United States has primarily been concentrated in California and Texas due to supportive state policies and significant solar and wind capacity that the storage resources will support.
Batteries and pumped hydro are the main storage technologies in use in the U.S., according to the number of storage projects in the country in 2023. Discover all statistics and data on Energy storage in the U.S. now on statista.com!
The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority filed with the New York Public Service Commission a proposed bulk energy storage program implementation plan designed to support the state’s build-out of storage deployments to meet the stated goal and to reduce projected costs by nearly $2 billion.
The US storage market had a record-setting third quarter of 2024, adding 3,806 megawatts (MW) (or 9,906 megawatt-hours (MWh)) of installed capacity to the grid. It is expected that the US storage market will install another 74 gigawatts (GW) between 2024 and 2028.
“The energy storage market is responding to help keep the lights on and support this unprecedented growth in an affordable and reliable way.” But that momentum is now bumping up against policy uncertainty that could derail growth in the near future. Energy storage is no longer limited to early-adopter states like California and Texas.
The most significant battery energy storage resource development has occurred in states that have adopted some form of incentive for development, including through utility procurements, the adoption of favorable regulations, or the engagement of demonstration projects.
