The report includes comprehensive analysis of deployment trends, market sizing, and growth projections for utility scale and behind the meter segments, in addition to an energy storage supply chain analysis, federal and state policy overview, and technology roadmaps and. The report includes comprehensive analysis of deployment trends, market sizing, and growth projections for utility scale and behind the meter segments, in addition to an energy storage supply chain analysis, federal and state policy overview, and technology roadmaps and. For solar-plus-storage—the pairing of solar photovoltaic (PV) and energy storage technologies—NLR researchers study and quantify the economic and grid impacts of distributed and utility-scale systems. Much of NLR's current energy storage research is informing solar-plus-storage analysis. Energy. The Energy Storage Market Outlook (ESMO) is a quarterly publication produced by the Solar Energy Industries Association and Benchmark Mineral Intelligence. ESMO draws on Benchmark's proprietary grid and behind the meter data on U. Modern buyers prioritize seamless digital engagement, leveraging online platforms for product research, comparison, and purchasing. We expect 63 gigawatts (GW) of new utility-scale electric-generating capacity to be added to the U. power grid in 2025 in our latest Preliminary Monthly Electric Generator Inventory report. 7 gigawatts direct current (GWdc) of capacity in Q3 2025, a 20% increase from Q3 2024, a 49% increase from Q2 2025, and the third largest quarter for deployment in the industry's history.
