About Electricity StorageElectricity Storage in The United StatesEnvironmental Impacts of Electricity StorageAccording to the U.S. Department of Energy, the United States had more than 25 gigawatts of electrical energy storage capacity as of March 2018. Of that total, 94 percent was in the form of pumped hydroelectric storage, and most of that pumped hydroelectric capacity was installed in the 1970s. The six percent of other storage capacity is in the for...See more on epa.govSandia National Laboratories
