The Energy Storage Market Outlook (ESMO) will provide a detailed analysis of the state of the US energy storage market and forecasts to inform industry leaders, investors, manufacturers, and policymakers.
“Energy storage is a critical part of how we meet skyrocketing demand in this country” said Darren Van't Hof, Interim President and CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association. “In state after state, we’ve watched how solar and energy storage together have kept the lights on and kept energy prices down during natural disasters and spikes in demand. Investors recognise that energy storage is no longer an add on to solar, but rather a central technology for America’s energy future. SEIA already offers unmatched advocacy for the energy storage sector, and this new partnership with Benchmark will arm industry leaders with the insights and analysis they need to invest in more energy storage.”
Benchmark’s award-winning research has a global footprint. Benchmark experts have testified in front of the United States Senate and legislative bodies in the United Kingdom and Canada. Its insights are frequently cited in global publications, and are trusted by developers, manufacturers, utilities, investors, suppliers, and policy-makers worldwide.
“The US energy storage market is entering a phase where scale, policy and capital deployment are converging” added Andrew Miller, CEO at Benchmark Mineral Intelligence. “Through this partnership with SEIA we are combining robust, bottom-up data with policy and market expertise to deliver a clear, credible view of how energy storage and its supply chain is evolving in the US. The Energy Storage Market Outlook will give industry leader and policymakers the transparency they need to make informed decisions as storage becomes a core pillar of the US power system.”
This new partnership is central to SEIA’s deepening advocacy on behalf of energy storage in 2026 and beyond. In January, SEIA experts hosted an Energy Storage Policy Forum on Capitol Hill to bring together policy and industry stakeholders to discuss the importance of energy storage to meeting rising energy demand. SEIA also released a suite of new resources and energy storage policy priorities to grow the sector in 2026.
