California is a world leader in energy storage with the largest fleet of batteries that store energy for the electricity grid. Energy storage is an important tool to support grid reliability and complement the state’s abundant renewable energy resources.
For Immediate Release: October 24, 2023 SACRAMENTO — New data show California is surging forward with the buildout of battery energy storage systems with more than 6,600 megawatts (MW) online, enough electricity to power 6.6 million homes for up to four hours.
We are excited to share the release of the updated Energy Storage Survey, showcasing California’s remarkable progress in energy storage deployment. The state has added over 3,000 MW of battery storage capacity in the last six months alone, bringing the total to more than 13,300 MW – a 30% increase since April 2024 (Source).
Increasing storage allows California’s grid to store energy from clean energy sources like solar during the day and use it during peak demand in the evening. Ramping up battery storage is a key part of Governor Newsom’s energy roadmap for achieving the state’s ambitious climate goals and a 100% clean electric grid.
At 10,379 MW, California has grown its battery fleet 1,250% over the last five years – up from 770 MW in 2019. The state is projected to need 52 GW of energy storage to meet its ambitious goal of 100% clean electricity by 2045.
