The US Energy Storage Association (ESA) issued a white paper that charts a path for deployment of 100GW of new storage nationwide by 2030, a target it says will help underpin the electric grid’s “accelerating clean energy transformation” and create 200,000 jobs.

“With the right policies and regulatory frameworks in place, we believe that achieving 100GW of new storage installations by 2030 is entirely reasonable and attainable,” said Kelly Speakes-Backman, CEO of ESA, a Washington, DC-based trade group.
