Batteries Are Crucial to Meeting Rising Demand
As the country looks to achieve energy dominance while also tackling the unprecedented energy demand increases from AI and data centers, building out America’s solar and storage infrastructure will be critical.
America’s tech giants are investing billions of dollars into solar and energy storage, precisely because these technologies can meet growing demand quickly and affordably at all times of the day.
The rapid growth of AI requires new generation resources to be up and running fast. No energy technology can be deployed more quickly than solar and storage. A new solar project can be operational in under 18 months, while a new battery project takes approximately 20 months on average. Compared to other technologies that take nearly 4, 7, or even 15 years to plan and develop, the choice is obvious.
