Energy storage has a very bright future indeed

In a 7 part series of studies NREL found that fast growth of energy storage will enable high shares of renewables on the grid and will lead to easier grid operation, fewer costly thermal start-ups and reduced emissions. Other findings include the idea that costs continue to drop, building-level energy storage deployment will increase as a source of backup power, storage duration will grow and energy storage is vital to reaching 100% clean energy deployment.
