The use of smart meters—part of advanced metering infrastructure—is growing rapidly, in part due to state and local policies. As of 2017, more than 78 million smart meters have been installed, covering more than 60% of U.S. homes. Estimates suggest that number could reach 90 million smart meter installations by 2020.

Battery storage, or battery energy storage systems (BESS), are devices that enable energy from renewables, like solar and wind, to be stored and then released when the power is needed most.

How does storage help us balance the grid? Energy storage allows us to move energy through time, capturing it when we have too much and saving it for when we don''t have enough. When we have excess electricity, perhaps on a really windy day, we don''t want the extra energy to go to waste. If we can store the electricity to use later, when
