As various technologies advance, they pose not only some challenges for electric utilities, but also some opportunities. One such technology is battery energy storage, which typically involves lithium-ion (li-ion) batteries combined usually with solar, but also with other sources of generation (which will be discussed further on.)

There are generally three types of battery energy storage: home and small business units, community units, and utility-scale storage (USS) units. Here, we look at utility-scale storage and the opportunities that this technology, and its expected continued growth, have for readers.
