US energy storage installations have surpassed total deployments recorded in full-year 2024, according to a quarterly report from Wood Mackenzie and the American Clean Power Association (ACP).

More than 5.3 GW of energy storage was installed nationwide in the third quarter of 2025. Quarterly installations increased 31% year over year. The third quarter remains the record quarter for deployments, with deployments decreasing by 6% quarter over quarter.

Through three quarters, the industry has exceeded the total deployment of the full year 2024, said the report.

“Strong growth in the US energy storage market reflects a simple reality: meeting rising demand and keeping the grid reliable increasingly requires storage,” said John Hensley, senior vice president of markets and policy analysis at ACP.
