How this measure is built
- Definition
- Additional utility-scale battery storage capacity operators plan to bring online in a future period.
- Measure
- One slice of Capacity additions ( counting rule: planned, form: level, segment: utility scale battery storage ) . New electricity generation or storage capacity added to the grid. Region and period are columns on every record, not slices.
- Limitations
- 4 figures are projections, drawn dashed and labelled in the table. Values are shown as published; StatOrigin does not revise, fill gaps or convert currencies.
- Verification
- Each value, unit, period and place was checked against its source evidence before publication. See the methodology and the corrections process.
