6 FAQs about [Time for energy storage to be connected to the grid in 2023]
How big is the energy backlog in 2023?
The backlog of new power generation and energy storage seeking transmission connections across the U.S. grew again in 2023, with nearly 2,600 gigawatts (GW) of generation and storage capacity now actively seeking grid interconnection, according to new research from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab).
What's going on with solar and wind energy in 2023?
The queues indicate particularly strong interest in solar, battery storage, and wind energy, which together accounted for over 95% of all active capacity at the end of 2023.
How many GW of battery storage will be needed by 2035?
Regen’s analysis,1 in partnership with ESO, suggested that across GB 80-100 GW of flexibility capacity will be needed by 2035, with 20-25 GW provided by electricity storage. The battery storage sector has grown rapidly since the first commercial-scale projects were launched in 2016, as production costs have dropped.
How many GW of power is waiting to connect?
There is over 400 GW of capacity waiting to connect to the transmission system, increasing by around 25 GW per month. ESO and the ENA have announced short-term changes to accelerate connections, particularly affecting flexible battery storage projects, and ESO is working on longer-term connections reform.
