Charging Up: The State of Utility-Scale Electricity
In this section, we identify several different potential roles for energy storage in the modern grid. Then we discuss how a high-renewables future may
Energy storage can be sold to generator customers | EQACC SOLAR
Energy storage can offer various electricity services, and while the best deployment location is unknown, behind-the-meter storage models can already provide a positive net value to the electricity system.
Quick Insight: Accessing Flexibility of Customer-Sited Battery
Energy users have already taken their desire for enhanced resilience into their own hands by purchasing fuel-based backup generators and, increasingly, BESS products.
Unraveling the complexity of merchant energy storage projects
While we only focus on a few in this post, there are many dimensions we can use to compare and contrast typical fossil fuel power plants to energy storage projects operating in merchant markets, as

Electricity Storage: Applications, Issues, and Technologies
Energy storage can take many forms, and can involve the storage of electricity directly or as potential (or kinetic) energy that can be used to generate electricity when it is needed.
How Recent FERC Orders Are Regulating Electric
Energy storage, with its versatile applications as a simultaneous load, generation, and ancillary service resource, is poised to provide flexibility to large
An Introduction to Microgrids and Energy Storage
In most jurisdictions, only the local utility is allowed to sell power to customers (regulated monopoly). Microgrid asset owners are forbidden from selling power to other customers, which complicates
Selling Electricity to Data Centers or Any End User: Will
You want to own electric generation or energy storage facilities that are used to sell power to data centers or other end user parties (e.g., other
Solar, battery storage to lead new U.S. generating capacity additions
In 2024, generators added a record 30 GW of utility-scale solar to the U.S. grid, accounting for 61% of capacity additions last year. We expect this trend will continue in 2025, with 32.5 GW of new utility
