Grid-scale energy storage deployments in the U.S. continue to grow at record pace, despite recent supply chain challenges. In Q2 2022, 2,608MWh of grid-scale storage was installed during the quarter, which is the highest second quarter figure recorded to date, according to research firm Wood Mackenzie. As variable renewable energy continues to grow, the demand for grid-scale storage will expand and the specifications for energy storage will change -- requiring larger installations that provide longer durations of storage. Evaluating and deploying correct technologies to meet the burgeoning need for storage at utility scale will be a key priority for energy providers going forward.
What are the costs, performance capabilities, and value of various grid-scale energy storage systems in real-world settings? What are the key technology options and deployment lessons learned to date?
The
Utility-Scale Energy Storage Forum, April 18-19, 2023 in Chicago, brings together key industry thought leaders, innovators and executive practitioners from across the U.S. to answer these questions and help utilities plan for expanded penetration of intermittent renewables on the grid.
