- In 4 years, US power grid increased battery storage to the equivalent of 20 nuclear reactors | The Optimist Dailywww.optimistdaily.com In 4 years, US power grid increased battery storage to the equivalent of 20 nuclear reactors | The Optimist Daily
Massive battery deployment stabilizes America's electrical infrastructure, allowing for renewable energy growth and preventing blackouts.
>According to data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), more than 20 gigawatts (GW) of battery capacity have been added to the US electric grid in the last four years. This rapid expansion is equivalent to the production of 20 nuclear reactors and is crucial for averting power disruptions, especially in states that rely significantly on intermittent renewable energy sources such as wind and solar.
