Vision of the us energy storage grand challenge

What is the energy storage Grand Challenge?

WASHINGTON D.C. – Today, U.S. Energy Secretary Dan Brouillette announced the launch of the Energy Storage Grand Challenge, a comprehensive program to accelerate the development, commercialization, and utilization of next-generation energy storage technologies and sustain American global leadership in energy storage.

What is the Grand Challenge?

The Grand Challenge builds on the $158 million Advanced Energy Storage Initiative announced in President Trump's Fiscal Year 2020 budget request. "Energy storage is key to capturing the full value of our diverse energy resources," said Secretary Brouillette.

What is the Doe Grand Challenge?

As the Grand Challenge develops, DOE looks forward to engaging with stakeholders to develop a complex-wide strategy to position the U.S. for global leadership in energy storage. Additional information about the Grand Challenge and upcoming events can be found here.

How much will energy storage cost in 2030?

With six use cases that identify energy storage applications, benefits, and functional requirements for 2030 and beyond, the ESGC has identified cost and performance targets, which include: $0.05/kWh levelized cost of storage for long-duration stationary applications, a 90% reduction from 2020 baseline costs by 2030.

What is the ESGC decadal challenge?

The Decadal Challenge goals are to leverage the ESGC Lab Coordination team to identify key issues across energy storage that DOE can address over the next decade to achieve roadmap/storage shot goals. Learn about energy storage facilities at DOE’s national labs.

What is the energy storage roadmap?

The Roadmap includes an aggressive but achievable goal: to develop and domestically manufacture energy storage technologies that can meet all U.S. market demands by 2030.
