Storage
Battery Storage
Systems that store electricity for later use, supporting grid reliability.
Definition
Battery energy storage systems (BESS) store electricity and discharge it when needed, providing flexibility and reliability to the grid.
Detailed explanation
Grid-scale batteries charge when power is abundant and discharge during peaks or when renewable output drops. Their rapid expansion — especially in markets like Texas — is creating hosting opportunities for landowners.
Why it matters
Battery storage underpins the battery-hosting opportunity and is reshaping how modern grids balance supply and demand.
