The development status of battery energy storage industry in the united states

When will large-scale battery energy storage systems come online?

Most large-scale battery energy storage systems are expected to come online in the United States over the next three years. These systems will be built at power plants that also produce electricity from solar photovoltaics.

How many battery storage installations are there in the United States?

After showing a year-over-year increase of 80 percent in 2023, the capacity of battery storage installations in the U.S. was projected to reach almost 30 gigawatts by the end of 2024. That year, the number of operational and prospective battery storage projects grazed 1,000, with most of them located in California and Texas.

Is the battery industry entering a new phase of development?

After years of investments, global battery manufacturing capacity reached 3 TWh in 2024, and the next five years could see another tripling of production capacity if all announced projects are built. These trends point to a battery industry entering a new phase of its development.

How many large-scale battery storage systems are there in the United States?

By the end of 2019, 163 large-scale battery storage systems were operating in the United States. This number marked a 28% increase from the previous year.

What was the battery storage capacity in 2019?

In 2019, the United States had 1 GW of operating storage power capacity. As of December 2020, project developers reported to us that they planned to install over 10 gigawatts (GW) of large-scale battery storage power capacity in the United States between 2021 and 2023, which would represent more than a 1000% increase from the 2019 capacity.

What energy sources will the US battery capacity exceed by 2024?

Developers currently plan to expand U.S. battery capacity to more than 30 gigawatts (GW) by the end of 2024, a capacity that would exceed those of petroleum liquids, geothermal, wood and wood waste, or landfill gas. Two states with rapidly growing wind and solar generating fleets account for the bulk of the capacity additions.
