4 FAQs about Is the new energy storage reliable

What is energy storage & why is it important?

Energy storage is powering California’s clean and reliable energy future.By capturing excess solar and wind power when it’s plentiful and releasing it when demand peaks, batteries keep the grid stable and make it possible to rely on renewable energy around the clock.

Why do we need energy storage solutions?

As the global energy transition accelerates, the need for reliable, scalable and cost-effective energy storage solutions has never been greater.

Is battery storage the cheapest energy source in California?

Clean energy is now the cheapest source of electricity generation globally and the cost of battery storage has fallen by 93% since 2010. Battery storage has already changed how California weathers extreme heat and demand surges. When unprecedented heatwaves hit the state in 2020 and 2022, it underscored the need for more flexible energy resources.

How has battery storage impacted California's Energy Grid?

Battery storage, along with new clean generation resources, has strengthened the grid’s ability to meet demand during hot summer days and extreme weather. Even as California added record amounts of new clean energy and faced warmer-than-average temperatures in 2024, the grid held steady — a sign of growing reliability and resilience.
