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 is essential for creating a cleaner, more efficient, and resilient electric grid. Additionally, these projects will provide meaningful benefits to Disadvantaged Communities and Low-to-Moderate Income New Yorkers. Energy storage is essential to a resilient grid and clean energy system.
Energy storage systems capture and hold energy for later use by shifting when and how electricity supply and demand are balanced. They’re charged using electricity from the power grid during periods of low demand or extra capacity.
