The US is on track to more than double its utility-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) capacity to over 100GW by the end of 2028, with planned additions of 54GW over the next two and a half years reported by the EIA.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Climate Tech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You must prepare for a surge in US battery storage demand as 54GW of capacity ramps up by 2028. This opens immediate opportunities in supply and service for projects tied to solar and grid arbitrage.
