Article Summaries:

  • A new SEIA‑Benchmark report shows U.S. battery‑storage installations hit a record 57.6 GWh in 2025, up 30 % from 2024, and four times the total from three years ago. Total utility‑scale storage reached 137 GWh, with 19 GWh commercial/industrial and 9 GWh residential added. Texas is projected to become the country’s largest battery‑storage market in 2026, overtaking California, as two‑thirds of 2025 capacity was built in red states. Analysts forecast 600 GWh nationwide by 2030. The supply chain is shifting, with battery cell makers converting EV lines to stationary storage, while SEIA warns that federal policy changes could affect prices and grid resilience.
