The Department of Energy’s (DOE) Energy Storage Grand Challenge (ESGC) is a comprehensive program to accelerate the development, commercialization, and utilization of next-generation energy storage technologies and sustain American global leadership in energy storage. This comprehensive set of solutions requires concerted action. See how ESGC is interconnected throughout DOE and possible contacts in each working area.
Learn more about the new Decadal Challenge to address the goals of the Long Duration Storage Shot. The Decadal Challenge goals are to leverage the ESGC Lab Coordination team to identify key issues across energy storage that DOE can address over the next decade to achieve roadmap/storage shot goals.
