2025 was a banner year for storage additions on the US grid despite diametric forces: massive load growth, OB3 tax incentive runway preservation, FEOC and Material Assistance questions, power price hikes, lithium price falls, lower interest rates, and other new ITC compliance, and more. Even with logistical challenges, the value that storage brings to both project economics and grid stability is too compelling to put on hold, as developers and investors push projects forward to maximize potential revenue.
Storage must pivot to capture OB3’s tax incentives while they can. With massive growth projected long-term, the energy storage market faces potential near-term contraction due to FEOC related supply chain adjustments, despite rising manufacturing capacity and continued innovation. How can the market adjust to new requirements, maintain momentum, and seize the ITC opportunities for investment once storage and wind’s incentives sunset?
Storage has the potential to increase the profitability of all projects. While this represents enormous opportunities, how does the industry inform the legislature, the public, data centers, and other large load that energy storage is a necessary grid stabilizing, cost reducing tool that should be financed and deployed at scale? How does energy storage finance and development continue to adapt to the risks and seize the opportunities available in today’s markets?
New development will continue, but only those with the right insight and connections will tune out the noise and grasp the opportunities ahead.
