Demand response POTENTIAL TODAY
Demand response POTENTIAL in 2030
As demand for batteries is going up, storage costs are going down $/kWh
Demand for batteries is booming. And battery storage costs are decreasing rapidly. This will enable the uptake of electro-mobility and the use of storage in colocation with wind farms, solar plants or as stand-alone grid components.
