The USA accelerates with energy storage and new renewable energy projects

The United States is consistently scaling up its investment in renewable energy sources and the energy storage that accompanies them. The latest reports from the American market show that this trend is gaining momentum at both state and national level.

New York is betting on large projects

The authorities of the State of New York have awarded support to renewable energy and energy storage projects with a combined capacity of 1.7 GW. This is one of the larger decisions of this kind in recent times, demonstrating the determination of local authorities to develop green energy infrastructure.

The energy storage market is growing across the country

At the same time, American data point to a clear increase in national battery-based energy storage capacity. The development of this segment is closely linked to the growing share of solar and wind energy, which require flexible balancing of generation.

• State-level support for large renewable energy projects is accelerating the energy transition in the USA.
• Energy storage is becoming an integral part of new investments in renewable energy sources.
• The growing scale of the battery market in the United States is a sign of the maturing of the entire sector.

These reports confirm that the development of renewable energy and energy storage is a global trend, present not only in Europe but also in North America.

Observing these changes, at NRG+ we see confirmation that we are right to combine the development of photovoltaic farms with energy storage.
