Domestic developers deployed a historic 9.7 GWh of storage last quarter—a 32% year-over-year jump (driven by tech hyperscalers locking down capacity). Shrugging off regulatory pushback, analysts bumped up the 2030 cumulative forecast to >600 GWh.
A whopping 71% of all new utility-scale storage capacity landed in Red states, led by TX and AZ (alongside notable new spikes in GA, IA, and MS).
Other industries are betting on storage, too: Antora Energy commissioned a hulking 5 GWh thermal energy storage system at biofuels titan POET’s South Dakota facility.
