Additional storage technologies will be added as representative cost and performance metrics are verified. The interactive figure below presents results on the total installed ESS cost ranges by
Despite challenges from federal tariffs, new ITC sourcing rules, and the impending loss of the Section 25D credit, overall installations rose 31% year-over-year.
While drivers like renewable integration, grid resilience, and capacity market participation remain robust, shifting trade policies and regulatory oversight are increasingly afecting the financial
While the energy storage market continues to rapidly expand, fueled by record-low battery costs and robust policy support, challenges still loom on the horizon—tariffs, shifting
Several storage technologies are in use on the U.S. grid, including pumped hydroelectric storage, batteries, compressed air, and flywheels (see figure). Pumped
The 2022 Cost and Performance Assessment provides the levelized cost of storage (LCOS). The two metrics determine the average price that a unit of energy output would need to be sold at

Storage technologies have tremendous opportunities to support future grid operations and policymakers at federal and state levels have begun to implement diverse policies. Specifically, the federal government has various national capabilities to support policymaker decisions around energy storage: Energy Storage Grand Challenge.
Several storage technologies are in use on the U.S. grid, including pumped hydroelectric storage, batteries, compressed air, and flywheels (see figure). Pumped hydroelectric and compressed air energy storage can be used to store excess energy for applications requiring 10 or more hours of storage.
Economic factors and other constraints may impact energy storage technology use on the grid. Energy storage technologies are increasingly used on the grid because of two main economic factors: declining cost (especially for lithium-ion batteries) and the increasing use of variable energy sources such as wind and solar.
For more information, contact Brian Bothwell at (202) 512-6888, Technologies to store energy at the utility-scale could help improve grid reliability, reduce costs, and promote the increased adoption of variable renewable energy sources such as solar and wind. Energy storage technology use has increased along with solar and wind energy.
