This Practice Note discusses changes to financing structures for battery storage projects after the enactment of the Inflation Reduction Act. 3 gigawatts (GW) of new utility-scale capacity was added in 2024, the U. Energy Information Administration (EIA) now projects that an even greater 18. This momentum is more than just a number—it reflects the growing recognition that energy storage. . From utility scale to microgrids, batteries are a crucial addition to reliable, low-cost energy systems and their impact will only expand in 2026 as costs drop and market utilisation of BESS improves atop the increasingly established safety performance of modern energy storage systems. Below are. . In this work we describe the development of cost and performance projections for utility-scale lithium-ion battery systems, with a focus on 4-hour duration systems.
