The electricity system of today and tomorrow relies on energy storage expansion, inclusion and integration.
The U.S. Energy Storage Association (ESA) is the national trade association dedicated to energy storage, working toward a more resilient, efficient, sustainable and affordable electricity grid – as is uniquely enabled by energy storage. With more than 180 members, ESA represents a diverse group of companies, including independent power producers, electric utilities, energy service companies, financiers, insurers, law firms, installers, manufacturers, component suppliers and integrators involved in deploying energy storage systems around the globe.
Our organization represents a broad spectrum of energy storage technologies, including mechanical, thermal, electrochemical and pumped hydropower.
Every day we act on behalf of our members and the broader energy storage industry to accelerate markets, connect our members and educate stakeholders.
