US Battery Storage Boom Reshapes the Grid in 2025
TL;DR Summary
The US installed a record 57 GWh of new energy storage in 2025—roughly 30% more than 2024—with growth fueled by standalone and behind-the-meter deployments. SEIA projects about 70 GWh more in 2026, and Texas is on track to lead storage installations, potentially surpassing California. The boom persists despite a renewables-hostile federal stance and risks from supply chains and policy shifts, underscoring a shift toward a more resilient, battery-driven grid as demand rises.
