Energy storage is designed to maximize the power we can get from our grid. Energy storage technologies charge when there is low cost, excess energy that would otherwise be wasted, then provide that stored energy back to the grid when it’s needed most, making storage a gamechanger for affordability and reliability across the grid.
Altogether, like other electric grid infrastructure, energy storage systems are highly regulated and there are established safety designs, features, and practices proven to eliminate risks to operators, firefighters, and the broader community.
Global energy storage installations are projected to grow by 76% in 2025 according to BloombergNEF, reaching 69 GW/169 GWh as grid resilience needs and demand balloon. Global energy storage projections are staggering, with a potential acceleration to 1,500 GW by 2030 following the COP29 Global Energy Storage and Grids Pledge.
Energy storage infrastructure is the network of systems and technologies designed to capture energy—often from renewable sources like solar or wind—and store it for later use. It plays a crucial role in making renewable energy reliable, stabilizing power grids, and reducing electricity costs for consumers. Here’s what you need to know at a glance:
