According to data from ACP and Wood Mackenzie, in the first quarter of 2024, the installed capacity of utility-scale energy storage in the United States increased by 84%. In the second quarter of 2024, US developers put into operation 33 energy storage projects in 10 states with an installed capacity of 2.9GW.
The cumulative installed capacity of energy storage in the United States exceeded 20GW and reached 21.6GW. Among them, 18 energy storage projects are supporting the construction of photovoltaic or wind power facilities, and the other 15 are independent energy storage.
Energy storage plays a pivotal role in the energy transition and is key to securing constant renewable energy supply to power systems, regardless of weather conditions. Energy storage technology allows for a flexible grid with enhanced reliability and power quality.
Energy storage technology allows for a flexible grid with enhanced reliability and power quality. Due to the rising demand for energy storage, propelled further by the need for renewable energy supply at peak times, energy storage facilities and producers have grown tremendously in recent years.
