#NewsIE | US Grid-Scale #EnergyStorage Installations sets a new Q2 Record. ➡️ https://lnkd.in/dWnxtK2F 🔋 According to the American Clean Power Association (ACP)'s and Wood Mackenzie’s latest U.S. Energy Storage Monitor report released at the beginning of October, every segment of the market experienced growth in Q2 over year-ago totals, with community (CCI) increasing 61% to 87 MWh and residential increasing 12% to 423 MWh. In total, the market saw 3,011 MW and 10,492 MWh deployed, the second-highest quarter on record behind Q4 2023 at 13,437 MWh. “Energy storage is becoming a mainstay of the power grid, delivering a more resilient and affordable grid,” said John Hensley, SVP of Markets and Policy Analysis for ACP. “Additional storage capacity across U.S. markets is helping to provide a cost-effective and reliable solution to serious problems such as rising energy demand, a timely need for more overall capacity, and more volatile and extreme weather events. To keep the trend going, it’s important to find solutions for development challenges such as lengthy interconnection queues and permitting and siting.”   “This quarter showed massive growth compared to year-ago levels and the grid-scale segment continues to be the main driver,” said Vanessa Witte, senior analyst with Wood Mackenzie’s energy storage team. “Community performed strongly as well. And while residential did expand, it was still a somewhat slow quarter as California’s meteoric growth faltered, combined with low installations in Hawaii and Puerto Rico, which continue to be affected by incentive changes.” FYI: Phil Sgro
