Developers and power plant operators expect to be using 1.4 GW more battery capacity by the end of the year than in October. From 2023 to 2025, EIA forecasts another 20.8 GW will come online.
More than 75% of the capacity that owners and operators say they will install in the next three years is in Texas with a projected 7.9 GW, and California, at 7.6 GW.
As more battery capacity becomes available to the grid, battery storage projects are growing in capacity. Before 2020, the largest U.S. battery storage project was 40 MW. The 409-MW Manatee Energy Storage in Florida is the largest operating battery storage project in the country, EIA said.
