U.S. energy storage capacity additions could reach 188 gigawatts by 2030, should the incoming Biden/Harris administration implement a 50 percent Renewable Energy Standard. The offshore wind market promises a more mild growth prospect, while onshore wind could grow by 218 gigawatts. Meanwhile, coal retirements would fall by an amount similar to that gained within the wind industry.
