Utility-scale energy storage is on the rise and poised for another critical year in the U.S. following 2021’s record-breaking boom. Installations grew 196% last year to 2.6 GW.
Today’s battery energy storage systems (BESS) offer utilities a proven way to build more secure, and reliable electric power systems. They can smooth grid demand, lower energy costs, increase capacity, and improve reliability. Energy storage is also gaining momentum across utilities to support renewables integration and defer transmission upgrades.
To take advantage of the positive outlook for storage in 2022 and beyond, utilities exploring new energy storage projects can benefit from these top considerations for BESS success.
