Leaderboard - BESS Installations In The World by Interconnection Power

Individual BESS installations are growing ever larger - as of November 2024, the largest operational BESS is the Edwards & Sanborn BESS in California, at 821 MW / 3,280 MWh

Many systems are built in several phases, adjacent to one another, under separate interconnection applications

While China leads the US in deployed BESS capacity, the US leads in construction of large individual projects, with 9 of the worldʼs 11 operational projects greater than 300MW

Currently there are multiple projects in development that expect to break the 1 GW barrier, but no system of this size has yet become operational
