Según PwC, la propuesta penaliza a medio plazo al consumidor en la medida de que da la señal de que se dediquen menos recursos al mantenimiento preventivo de la red. Por ello un marco continuista con la metodología actual sería más acertado para no poner en riesgo la electrificación .

Statistics from Enedis show that 4.2 GW of solar connected to France’s grid in the January-September period, including 82 MW paired with storage, marking a slight decline from 2024.

El proyecto Winton North de European Energy Australia contará con dos fases: una planta fotovoltaica de 100 MW y un sistema de almacenamiento de energía en baterías (BESS) de 100 MW / 2h.

It has become harder to finance BESS projects in the US, according to Ronak Maheshwari, a director at CRC-IB.

Storage is essential to expand renewables penetration and ensure grid flexibility, according to a study by consultants PSR. Regulatory and tax barriers still limit the sector, however, and new revenue sources are needed to make projects viable.

Since 2021, electricity demand within the Texas electricity grid operated by the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) has steadily increased. In the first nine months of 2025, electricity demand in ERCOT, which manages about 90% of the state's load, reached a record high compared with the same period in previous years. Over those same months, ERCOT had the fastest electricity demand growth among U.S. electricity grids between 2024 and 2025. From January through September 2025, demand for electric power in ERCOT increased 5% compared with the same period in 2024 to 372 terawatthours (TWh), 23% more than the same months in 2021. Since 2023, wind and solar generation, especially utility-scale solar, have been the fastest-growing sources of electricity in ERCOT and are increasingly meeting rising demand.

The United States is on track to export a record amount of fuel ethanol for the second year in a row in 2025, driven by growing international demand. This growing market for exports is supporting increased U.S. fuel ethanol production, even as domestic consumption stagnates.
