Microgrid Energy Storage Containers: Modular Solutions for
In 2024, Texas rancher John installed two HighJoule 20-foot microgrid energy storage containers with a total capacity of 430kWh. After experiencing multiple grid outages,
The EIA forecasts a record 18.2GW of utility-scale battery storage added to the grid this year. This would be a nearly 8GW growth from the 10.3GW installations achieved in 2024, according to the EIA. Moreover, the combined forecast for solar PV and battery storage puts both technologies contributing to 50.7GW of the total 63GW in 2025.
Together, solar and battery storage account for 81% of the expected total capacity additions, with solar making up over 50% of the increase. Solar. In 2024, generators added a record 30 GW of utility-scale solar to the U.S. grid, accounting for 61% of capacity additions last year.
Moreover, the combined forecast for solar PV and battery storage puts both technologies contributing to 50.7GW of the total 63GW in 2025. Regarding the growth of energy storage in the US, the EIA highlighted its importance when paired with other renewables in order to provide a balance between supply and demand, while improving grid stability.
To overcome this challenge, grid-scale energy storage systems are being connected to the power grid to store excess electricity at times when it's plentiful and then release it when the grid is under periods of especially high demand.
