U.S. Energy Storage Installations Reach Record 20.2 GWh in Q2 2026

SolarNews Brief

U.S. grid-scale storage installations reached a record 20.2 GWh in Q2 2026, lifting first-half additions to 30.8 GWh. SEIA and Benchmark now forecast 683 GWh of U.S. storage deployments through 2030 as utilities and large power buyers use batteries to meet rising demand and reliability needs.

The Q2 record came from the U.S. Energy Storage Market Outlook Q3 2026, published by SEIA and Benchmark Mineral Intelligence, and marked the country’s strongest quarter for storage additions. Utility-scale installed capacity nearly doubled from 88 GWh to 165 GWh over the prior 18 months, while Arizona led the quarter with 6.2 GWh of new storage. The report raised its forecast by 11.5% to 683 GWh through 2030, underlining how solar-plus-storage is moving from peak support into core grid planning.
