Published
Key Findings
US utility-scale battery storage capacity has grown 300% in three years. ITC extensions under IRA apply to standalone storage for the first time. Interconnection queues average 4-5 years, creating development risk.
Battery energy storage is critical to US grid reliability. This whitepaper covers BESS technology trends, IRA incentive structures, interconnection queue challenges, and project finance structures for utility-scale and behind-the-meter storage.
