How big is energy storage compared to other utility-scale energy storage projects?

In contrast, by the end of 2019, all other utility-scale energy storage projects combined, such as batteries, flywheels, solar thermal with energy storage, and natural gas with compressed air energy storage, amounted to a mere 1.6 GW in power capacity and 1.75 GWh in energy storage capacity.

How do energy storage plants augment electrical grids?

Many individual energy storage plants augment electrical grids by capturing excess electrical energy during periods of low demand and storing it in other forms until needed on an electrical grid. The energy is later converted back to its electrical form and returned to the grid as needed.
