The U.S. Energy Storage Boom Is About To Begin
Alongside rising shares of solar and wind power in the electricity mix, the U.S. is set to see a major rise energy storage installations which are crucial to the clean energy economy. The rise of renewable energy sources and the decarbonization of the grid will need new energy storage installations in the coming years to provide flexible energy and capacity. Alongside rising shares of solar and wind power in the electricity mix, the U.S. is set to see increased energy storage installation as storage is critical to ensuring more solar and wind power generation.
America has the potential to see 100 gigawatts (GW) of new energy storage deployed by 2030, the U.S. Energy Storage Association (ESA) said in a new white paper this month.
