The Grid's New Backbone
by Futoshi Tachino Among the most consequential, least appreciated climate gains is the rapid build-out of grid-scale energy storage. Batteries (and modern pumped storage) are now being deployed at record pace on four continents, shifting midday solar into the evening, cushioning wind variability, and trimming fossil peaker use. This is not a niche story: global additions are on track for another record in 2025, with most capacity arriving in utility-scale projects [1].
