Will energy storage capacity surpass 30 gw/111 GWh in 2025?

Grid-scale energy storage capacity is expected to surpass 30 GW/111 GWh of installed capacity by the end of 2025, according to a new report by the US Energy Information Administration (EIA).

What is the total energy storage capacity planned by 2030?

Funding for the massive energy storage roll out will come in part from the Inflation Reduction Act, which BloombergNEF states will drive the development of 30 GW (111 GWh) of energy storage capacity by 2030. Developers have scheduled more than 23 grid-scale battery projects, ranging from 250 MW to 650 MW, to be deployed by 2025.

What is the expected grid-scale energy storage capacity by 2025?

Grid-scale energy storage capacity is expected to surpass 30 GW/111 GWh of installed capacity by the end of 2025, according to a new report by the US Energy Information Administration (EIA). The Energy Information Administration expects the deployment of grid-scale storage to pick up over the next three years.

When will grid-scale energy storage pick up?

The Energy Information Administration expects grid-scale storage to pick up over the next three years. By the end of 2025, grid-scale energy storage capacity is expected to surpass 30 GW/111 GWh of installed capacity.

Does the energy storage strategic plan address new policy actions?

This SRM does not address new policy actions, nor does it specify budgets and resources for future activities. This Energy Storage SRM responds to the Energy Storage Strategic Plan periodic update requirement of the Better Energy Storage Technology (BEST) section of the Energy Policy Act of 2020 (42 U.S.C. § 17232 (b) (5)).
