Energy storage facilities generally use more electricity than they generate and have negative net generation. At the end of 2023, the United States had 1,189,492 MW—or about 1.19 billion kW—of total utility-scale electricity-generation capacity.
Our Megafactories in Lathrop, California and Shanghai, China are among the largest industrial battery manufacturing facilities in the world. Together, they have a total manufacturing capacity of 80 GWh, or 20,000 units, per year. That's enough energy storage to retire 400 fossil fuel peaker plants (100 MW each) every year.
