There are several energy storage technologies that have been deployed to date. Some of the oldest utility-scale technologies include pumped hydroelectric storage (PHS) and compressed air energy storage (CAES). . One way to help balance fluctuations in electricity supply and demand is to store electricity during periods of relatively high production and low demand, then release it back to the electric power grid during periods of lower production or higher demand. By Jon-Edward Stokes In the US, about 59% of electricity was generated from fossil fuels in 2024.
