Electricity generation capacity from diurnal storage in the United States is projected to grow continuously in the coming decades, albeit at varying rates, depending on market developments. In a scenario of zero-carbon technology cost reductions, storage capacity in the U.S. could surpass 260 gigawatts in 2050. In contrast, should costs grow, capacity could be as low as 46.5 gigawatts that year.
