The Energy Storage Council ESC The ESC was founded to promote the research, development and deployment of storage technologies as well as to raise awareness of the importance of storage for the future of Americas electricity supply and energy security. ESC believes that energy storage is very much on the minds of engineers, traders, security analysts and policy makers across the country.

From largescale pumpedhydro storage and compressed air energy storage CAES to smaller technologies such as batteries, flywheels and electrochemical capacitors, energy storage is the sixth dimension of the new electricity value chain along withfuelsenergy sources, generation, transmission, delivery, and customer energy services and the critical link in making electricity work better. Energy storage has critical roles to play in securing our energy future including serving as an electricity reserve much like the national Petroleum Reserve stabilizing electricity markets stablizing the transmission and distribution grid enabling more efficient use of existing generation assets making renewable energy economically viable.
The Role of Energy Storage Although many people believe that electricity cannot be stored effectively, there are, in fact, several largescale storage installations already in operation in the United States Energy storage has critical roles to play in securing our energy future including serving as an electricity reserve much like the national Petroleum Reserve stabilizing electricity markets stablizing the transmission and distribution grid enabling more efficient use of existing generation assets making renewable energy economically viable.
