6 FAQs about [Risks of the new energy storage industry]

What challenges do energy storage resources face?

Energy storage resources present a distinct set of challenges given their unique nature: unlike conventional or renewable generation, energy storage resources must be charged with electric power, which will sometimes (but not always) be provided by the offtaker.

Are grid-scale battery energy storage systems safe?

Despite widely known hazards and safety design of grid-scale battery energy storage systems, there is a lack of established risk management schemes and models as compared to the chemical, aviation, nuclear and the petroleum industry.

What happens if a battery energy storage system is damaged?

Battery Energy Storage System accidents often incur severe losses in the form of human health and safety, damage to the property and energy production losses.

How has the IRA impacted the energy storage industry?

The energy storage industry has continued to progress over the course of 2024 and into 2025, buoyed in significant part by the federal income tax benefits in the form of tax credits enacted under the IRA. Energy storage was one of the major beneficiaries of the IRA’s new rules on both the deployment and manufacturing sides.

Will energy storage development continue to grow in the United States?

Amid ongoing conversations about grid reliability amid growing electricity demand driven in part by booming expansion of data centers and continuing interest in moving away from fossil fuels toward intermittent renewable resources, energy storage development will continue to grow across the United States.

Will energy storage growth continue through 2025?

With developers continuing to add new capacity, including 9.2 GW of new lithium-ion battery storage capacity in 2024 through November 2024 and comparable levels of growth expected through the fourth quarter of 2024, energy storage investments and M&A activity are expected to continue this trajectory through 2025.
