The share of new utility-scale solar capacity co-located with battery storage has increased from 2% in 2017 to over 16% in 2026, with plans to reach 19% this year and over 30% in 2027 and 2028.
Why it matters. This trend affects the energy sector by improving the flexibility and value of solar power in managing wholesale electricity prices.
As of September 2026, over 16% of new utility-scale solar capacity added this year is co-located with operable battery storage
