US battery storage installs record 3.3 GW / 8.4 GWh in Q1 2026

SolarNews Brief

The US installed a record 3.3 GW / 8.4 GWh of battery storage in Q1 2026. The numbers confirm storage demand is accelerating across utility, residential, and C&I segments, but supply-chain compliance could become the next constraint.

Renewables Now reports that the United States installed 3.3 GW / 8.4 GWh of battery energy storage in the first quarter of 2026, according to ACP and Wood Mackenzie's US Energy Storage Monitor. Utility-scale projects added more than 2.3 GW / 6.8 GWh, while residential installations reached 1.3 GWh and the commercial and industrial segment deployed 97.7 MW. The report also flags FEOC-compliant equipment and safe-harboured supply as potential bottlenecks, which matters directly for solar-plus-storage procurement strategy.
