2015 Usa Distributed Energy Storage

Battery-based energy storage,
. . . can play a valuable enabling role when it comes to,
. . . renewable energy adoption,
. . . but storage can do much more.
Services such as:
. . . . . . Peak shifting,
. . . . . . Backup power, and
. . . . . . Ancillary grid services, are a small subset of,
. . . the larger matrix of potential future values batteries can provide,
. . . but storage is still too expensive to cost-effectively provide these services,
. . . in most U.S. markets.

The current state of the industry in the U.S.A., is currently facing:
. . . . . . High costs, and
. . . . . . Limited avenues for capturing value.
