The DOE defines long-duration storage as anything that can supply electricity back to the grid for 10 hours or more.

Which energy sources should be used for energy storage?

After that, the burden of keeping the grid supplied with electricity falls back on traditional sources — thermal, nuclear, and hydro. On September 23, 2023, the US Department of Energy announced it has selected nine proposals for long-duration energy storage test projects.

Can energy storage power the grid in the future?

The DOE is making money available to promote long-duration energy storage solutions that can power the grid in the future. Sign up for daily news updates from CleanTechnica on email. Or follow us on Google News! Utility-scale energy storage is a vital part of the clean energy revolution.

How much money does the DOE spend on long-duration storage?

Those nine will share a total of $325 million in funding to help them prove they are viable. The DOE defines long-duration storage as anything that can supply electricity back to the grid for 10 hours or more.

Why is energy storage important?

Energy storage is essential to enabling utilities and grid operators to effectively adopt and utilize the nation’s growing portfolio of clean energy resources, like solar and wind, on demand. However, today’s energy storage technologies are not sufficiently scaled or affordable to support the broad use of renewable energy on the grid.
