California continues to lead the world in energy storage deployment.

An additional 8,600 MW is expected by 2027, with a 2045 target of 52,000 MW statewide.
Since 2023, California has added capacity in all market segments: 789 MW residential, 73 MW commercial, and 5,058 MW of utility-scale energy storage.
