What is the future of energy storage?

Renewable penetration and state policies supporting energy storage growth Grid-scale storage continues to dominate the US market, with ERCOT and CAISO making up nearly half of all grid-scale installations over the next five years.

Why is energy storage important?

Energy storage can provide flexibility to the electricity grid, guaranteeing more efficient use of resources. When supply is greater than demand, excess electricity can be fed into storage devices. It can in turn be tapped hours (or sometimes even days) later when demand is greater than supply.

How will energy storage affect global electricity demand?

Global electricity demand is set to more than double by mid-century, relative to 2020 levels. With renewable sources – particularly wind and solar – expected to account for the largest share of power output in the coming decades, energy storage will play a significant role in maintaining the balance between supply and demand.

How is India promoting energy storage?
