Storage: a U.S. overview

EIA Energy Conference June 5, 2018 | Washington, DC

By Lisa Cabral, Analyst Energy Information Administration

U.S. Energy Information Administration Independent Statistics & Analysis www.eia.gov Outline 1. Definitions

2. Summary of small scale battery storage

3. Overview of large-scale battery storage: - regional trends - applications - installed costs - projections

Lisa Cabral, Washington DC June 5, 2018 2 Key takeaways • As of end 2017, the US has 664 MW of , 742 MWh of energy in operational large-scale battery capacity

• Most batteries are lithium-ion

• The majority are installed in CAISO or PJM

• State policy, wholesale market rules, and retail rates play a central role in where opportunities for battery storage exist

• Installed capacity is expected to grow as costs decline and market rules are updated

Lisa Cabral, Washington DC June 5, 2018 3 Definitions • Power capacity: the maximum instantaneous amount of power output Energy Battery (MWh) • Energy capacity: the total amount of energy that can be stored or discharged Power • Large scale: grid-connected, single Inverter (MW) installation of 1MW or greater in Grid
