The California Independent System Operator (CAISO) said in its report that 37 GW of battery storage and 4 GW of long-duration storage would need to be deployed by 2045 to achieve its goal.
In May, China set a new target of at least 40GW of battery storage installed by the end of 2025, up 33% from the previous goal under a wider plan to reduce carbon emissions.
According to recent industry reports, the United States has already hit 40GW of energy storage system (ESS) capacity as of December 2025, blowing past the original 35GW target that
More electricity storage and longer durations of storage will be needed for the UK to meet net zero targets, according to electricity system operator National Grid ESO''s latest modelling.
The plan sets ambitious clean energy targets and targets increases in energy storage capacity, with 23–27 GW of battery capacity and 4–6 GW of long-duration energy storage.
India is set to make a significant leap in its energy transition with plans to implement 40GW of battery storage and 90GW of pump storage capacity by 2030, focusing on states like
Tim De Chant shares in a TechCrunch article that more than 40 GW of batteries have been deployed on the US grid to date, with more than 10% of that coming in the last quarter alone.

Battery storage has many uses in power systems: it provides short-term energy shifting, delivers ancillary services, alleviates grid congestion and provides a means to expand access to electricity.
The state saw a need for <4.7 GW of power to handle these periods by 2022, and so implemented plans to deploy energy storage plus additional solar to fill up these batteries. This
