Energy storage is essential if we are to achieve 100% renewable energy on the grid by 2025. While utility-scale electric batteries are under development, they remain prohibitively expensive. Behind-the-meter batteries, both electric and thermal, will help make the transition for buildings to electrify and decarbonize and ultimately be grid flexible.
