Members of the US energy industry has committed to investing $100 billion over the next five years to build and buy American-made batteries for large, utility-scale deployments of battery energy storage systems (BESS).
Utility scale battery storage capacity surpassed 26 GW in 2024 and continues to grow strongly, with BESS now forming a significant share of interconnection queues. Our new briefing, Future of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) U.S., provides a concise guide to the evolving opportunity set and risk landscape for U.S. BESS projects, including:
Experts predict consumption by U.S. data centers alone to quadruple between 2023 and 2030. Two battery stationary energy storage solutions are helping meet this challenge: Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). Together, they are ensuring reliability and scalability across the entire energy ecosystem.
This battery storage update includes summary data and visualizations on the capacity of large-scale battery storage systems by region and ownership type, battery storage co-located systems, applications served by battery storage, battery storage installation costs, and small-scale battery storage trends.
WASHINGTON, D.C., April 29, 2025 – Today the American Clean Power Association (ACP), on behalf of the U.S. energy storage industry, announced a historic commitment to invest $100 billion into

Summary Battery energy storage systems (BESS) are transforming the US energy landscape by addressing the intermittency of renewable energy sources like solar and wind,
Batteries became the main energy storage technology in the United States in 2024, surpassing hydro pumped storage. After showing a year-over-year increase of 80 percent in 2023,
Stationary battery energy storage solutions — the batteries behind AI and data centers — are helping meet the unprecedented electricity demand.
The energy storage industry is planning to deliver and expand upon these investments and continue the battery manufacturing boom jump-started by rapid energy storage deployment.
Battery energy storage system (BESS) deployment in the United States is accelerating as rising power demand, including from data centres, drives the need for flexible capacity and grid support.
That''s the equivalent of nearly six Hoover Dams of deployable energy. This marks the fifth-straight year of record-high battery storage additions, bringing our total battery storage capacity to an
The battery storage market in the United States is undergoing a remarkable transformation. In the first half of 2024, the U.S. power grid added 4.2 gigawatts (GW) of battery
