Energy storage is essential to the future energy mix, serving as the backbone of the modern grid. The global installed capacity of battery energy storage is expected to hit 500 GW by 2031, according to research firm Wood Mackenzie. The U.S. remains the energy storage market leader – and is expected to install 63 GW of
The lack of direct support for energy storage from governments, the non-announcement of confirmed needs for storage through official government sources, and the existence of incomplete and unclear processes in licensing also hurt attracting investors in the field of storage (Ugarte et al.).
Altogether, like other electric grid infrastructure, energy storage systems are highly regulated and there are established safety designs, features, and practices proven to eliminate risks to operators, firefighters, and the broader community.
