Solaranlagen und Batterien im Wert von ca. 2 Billionen US-Dollar stehen im künftigen Stromnetz der USA – 1.100 GW Solarenergie und 1.000 GW Speicher warten nun auf den Übertragungsverbund

Roughly, 1.1 TW of solar grid capacity is equal to about 1.4 TW of solar modules being installed – which roughly would cost $1/watt to install. 1.4 TW at $1/W = $1.4 trillion.

1 TW of energy storage, with say, two hours of capacity is 2 TWh. Roughly, we could say it’ll cost $300/kWh to install this energy storage. 2 TWh of energy storage at $300/kWh is $600 billion.

From the article:
> By year-end 2023, 1086 GW of solar projects awaited transmission interconnection, along with 503 GW of standalone storage, according to preliminary data from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). The amount of storage in hybrid projects, such as solar-plus-storage projects, awaiting interconnection at year-end was estimated at 525 GW by LBNL, based on imputed values for missing data when storage capacity for hybrid projects was not reported.
