Utility-scale battery storage capacity additions vs Carbon intensity of electricity generation in United States

Utility-scale battery storage capacity additions (multi-month) and Carbon intensity of electricity generation (annual) in United States. They are published at different intervals, so each is drawn on its own rather than matched period by period.

The series

Over time

United States. Utility-scale battery storage capacity additions is published as multi-month figures and carbon intensity of electricity generation as annual ones, so they are drawn on separate charts, clipped to 2022–2023, and no period is matched between them. Read each on its own.

Shared periods

Side by side

No period lines up: utility-scale battery storage capacity additions is multi-month and carbon intensity of electricity generation is annual. A month and a year are not the same measurement window, so no row pairs them.
