How much battery storage does the US have?

From barely any just a few years ago, the US has now installed 20 GW of grid-scale battery storage for its electric grid — equivalent to twenty nuclear power plants. 5 GW of that total occurred in just the first seven months of this year, according to the federal Energy Information Administration.

How big will grid-scale battery storage be by 2050?

The EIA predicts total grid-scale battery storage capacity could double again to 40 GW by the end of next year if the new projects already in the pipeline are completed. It also predicts grid-scale storage batteries will provide about 40% of all the world’s short-term electricity needs by 2050.
