New Report Showcases Innovation to Advance Long Duration Energy Storage (LDES):

How will battery energy storage impact the energy transition?

As energy storage is pivotal in enabling the energy transition across sectors, working effectively across stakeholder groups to help realize the full potential battery energy storage technology offers, will unlock significant growth not just in the next few years but lay the foundation for a long-term acceleration in deployment.

How much will a battery energy storage system cost in 2021?

Cumulative battery energy storage system (BESS) capital expenditure (CAPEX) for front-of-the-meter (FTM) and behind-the-meter (BTM) commercial and industrial (C&I) in the United States and Canada will total more than USD 24 billion between 2021 and 2025.

Why are energy storage systems important?

As a critical component of the energy transition, energy storage systems are needed to help balance renewable intermittency, provide a cost-effective and low-emission source of critical capacity, and empower customers to manage their energy demand.

How can energy storage technology improve resiliency?

This FOA supports large-scale demonstration and deployment of storage technologies that will provide resiliency to critical facilities and infrastructure. Projects will show the ability of energy storage technologies to provide dependable supply of energy as back up generation during a grid outage or other emergency event.
