The US installed a record-shattering 58 GWh of energy storage in 2025
Benchmark’s inaugural US Energy Storage Market Outlook, produced in collaboration with SEIA, shows the US installed an unprecedented 57.6GWh of new battery energy stationary storage (#BESS) capacity last year.
The utility-scale market saw installations increase 29% y-o-y, with particularly strong growth in Texas and Arizona, increasing 67% and 129% y-o-y respectively. Notably, deployments in California saw its first year of decline, down 21% compared to 2024. Outside of the top three markets, Nevada, New Mexico, Idaho, Oklahoma and Wisconsin all deployed over 1GWh of BESS in 2025, on the back of increased solar deployments.
