The data was accessed from the U.S. Energy Storage Monitor from Wood Mackenzie Power & Renewables and ESA.
The first quarter of 2019 was stated to be the largest ever single quarter for U.S. energy storage deployments in megawatt terms, an increase of 232 percent year-over-year.
ESA cites as key findings from the report:
- 148.8 MW of energy storage was deployed in the United States in Q1 2019, growing 6% QOQ and 232% YOY

- Behind-the-meter (BTM) storage deployments constituted 46 percent of Q1 2019 U.S. energy storage deployments in MW terms in Q1 2019
- Front-of-the-meter (FTM) storage deployments constituted 54 percent of Q1 2019 deployments in MW terms in Q1 2019
- In Q1 2019 FTM storage deployments dropped 10% QOQ in MW terms but rose over 5x YOY
