Last month's winter storm swept across the United States, from Texas to New England, with large-scale energy storage batteries successfully supporting the U.S. power grid. Texas benefited particularly, with nearly 17 gigawatts of energy storage capacity (up from less than 0.5 gigawatts in 2021) helping to stabilize the grid. Industry assessments predict that by 2029, the state's energy storage capacity will reach 25 gigawatts.
