US solar plants increasingly pair with battery storage, EIA reports

Original: EIA: The share of solar generation with co-located battery storage is increasing

The US Energy Information Administration reports that a growing share of solar power capacity is being built alongside battery storage. Co-located batteries allow solar farms to store daytime generation for use in the evening, improving grid reliability. The trend reflects falling battery costs and rising demand for firm renewable energy as solar's share of the US electricity mix expands.

Why now: Growing interest in how battery storage is reshaping renewable energy deployment in the United States.
