Heatmap | Hydrostor - The Tipping Point

The rapid growth of renewable energy sources is transforming the power grid, but it also presents challenges for grid stability and reliability. As regions push towards ambitious clean energy goals, the need for long-duration energy storage (LDES) solutions is becoming increasingly urgent to balance intermittent renewables and ensure a stable, clean energy future.

This new report from Heatmap Labs and Hydrostor explores how LDES technologies are becoming essential to support the transition to a renewable-powered grid—examining various LDES technologies, their applications, and how policymakers and stakeholders can encourage their development to address the evolving needs of our energy systems.

Inside the free report you’ll find:

Analysis of the "tipping point" where energy storage becomes crucial for grid reliability as renewable penetration increases
Case studies of California and New York, exploring their approaches to integrating LDES into their clean energy plans
Overview of emerging LDES technologies—like chemical fuels, mechanical batteries, thermal energy systems, and mechanical energy storage—including their benefits and potential applications in stabilizing renewable-heavy grids
