# Batteries Charging Forward across Western U.S.

The advent of cost-competitive, scalable, utility-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS) has accelerated the buildout of this technology across the U.S. energy landscape. While smaller BESS have typically supported ancillary services, new utility-scale projects coming online have the potential to fundamentally transform the grid. In this Insight, we explore the rapid spread of battery storage projects across the western U.S. and examine some of the impacts that are already being felt there.
