California has surpassed 21 GW of energy storage connected to the grid, with rapid growth from less than 700 MW in 2019. This storage capacity now provides about one-third of the state's peak demand and supports California's shift from natural gas to solar power, advancing toward a 100% clean electricity goal by 2045.

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

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

California's massive battery fleet opens a clear demand for suppliers of utility-scale and distributed storage technologies. You can now target a large, expanding grid market that values replacing natural gas with renewable energy buffers.
