Subjects Batteries Energy grids and networks Multi-day, long-duration energy storage (LDES) is essential for decarbonizing the power grid, yet grid-scale deployment of LDES faces steep cost, scale and risk barriers. Behind-the-meter backup power applications for large commercial and medical facilities offer an early market; targeting this could overcome all three barriers and accelerate the adoption of LDES.
