With the biggest thorn in the President’s side removed, the country should prepare for the 2020 presidential elections and the energy policy to follow. The Office of Nuclear Energy is allocating $757 million in the 2019 Budget – a $54 million increase from 2018 . Utility-scale energy storage is necessary for improving the flexibility and reliability of the electric grid, and is critical for addressing the intermittent nature of renewable energy generation. The future of the energy storage market is bright with consistent growth predicted throughout 2030. Who will be at the helm of America’s energy policy after the 2020 elections is anyone’s guess.
