Accelerating grid decarbonization with long-duration energy storage
A discussion with ESS and Wood Mackenzie.

Momentum toward a decarbonized future is accelerating, with utilities, governments and major corporations around the world setting increasingly ambitious targets for clean energy deployment and carbon reduction.
Energy storage has emerged as a key technology in the energy transition, having surpassed all prior projections for its growth. Long-duration energy storage (LDES) – defined here as technology that can store and discharge electricity for 4 to 24 hours – is widely recognized as a critical missing piece for a reliable clean energy grid.
This mini-brief explores how grid decarbonization and resilience is being accelerated with LDES.
Key takeaways include:
- A first look at how LDES is being deployed today
- The key role LDES will play in enabling clean, flexible, resilient grids of the future
- The drivers for scaling LDES technologies in the US and around the world
