Here are the biggest takeaways:
- 20.2 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of new capacity in Q2, bringing total installations in the first half of 2026 to 30.8 GWh
- Utility-scale energy storage capacity has nearly doubled from 88 GWh to 165 GWh in the first 18 months of the Trump administration
- More than 74% of the energy storage capacity installed in Q2 was built in states won by President Donald Trump in 2024.
- Arizona led the country with 6.2 GWh of new storage installations in Q2, the strongest quarter for any one state on record.
- Battery energy storage supplied more electricity to the grid in the first eight months of 2026 than in all of 2025.
