© Alengo/Getty Images The new economics of energy

Energy storage is a favorite technology of the future— for good reasons. Many people see affordable storage as the missing link between intermittent renewable power, such as solar and wind, and 24/7 reliability. Utilities are intrigued by the potential for storage to meet other needs such as relieving congestion and smoothing

Across the US, batteries and green energies like wind and solar

A worker does checks on battery storage pods at Orsted''s Eleven Mile Solar Center lithium-ion battery storage energy facility Thursday, Feb. 29, 2024, in Coolidge, Ariz. Batteries allow renewables to replace fossil fuels like oil, gas and coal, while keeping a steady flow of power when sources like wind and solar are not producing.

Mind the gap: Comparing the net value of geothermal, wind, solar

The story is similar in terms of generation (Fig. 1 B)—i.e., geothermal has not been able to significantly participate in this century''s energy transition to date, even in those states with proven geothermal resources.This has led to a western grid that is increasingly comprised of variable renewable resources such as wind and solar in particular, with storage also
