Energy storage allows energy to be saved for use at a later time. It helps maintain the balance between energy supply and demand, which can vary hourly, seasonally, and by location.

About Electricity StorageElectricity Storage in The United StatesEnvironmental Impacts of Electricity StorageThe electric power grid operates based on a delicate balance between supply (generation) and demand (consumer use). One way to help balance fluctuations in electricity supply and demand is to store electricity during periods of relatively high production and low demand, then release it back to the electric power grid during periods of lower product...See more on epa.gov
Energy storage is the capture of energy produced at one time for use at a later time to reduce imbalances between energy demand and energy production. A device that stores energy is generally called an accumulator or battery. Energy comes in multiple forms including radiation, chemical, gravitational potential, electrical potential, electricity, elevated temperature, latent heat and kinetic. En
