Core offering

The Energy Storage Association / U.S. Energy Storage Coalition is a member-funded trade association and policy advocacy organization representing 30+ leading grid battery manufacturers, energy storage developers, owners, and operators in the United States. It advances industry interests by publishing policy research reports (e.g., Outlook for Energy Storage in PJM), safety toolkits (Public Hearing Toolkit, AHJ Toolkit, Firefighter Toolkit), engaging federal agencies (DOE, FERC) and RTOs (PJM), and promoting adoption of NFPA 855 safety standards across jurisdictions.

Product overview

The U.S. Energy Storage Coalition (referred to as Energy Storage Association in sources) is an industry alliance of leading grid battery manufacturers, energy storage developers, owners, and operators—not a product company offering commercial software or services. The Coalition provides advocacy resources, policy reports, and safety toolkits including the Public Hearing Toolkit, AHJ Toolkit, and Firefighter Toolkit. Their published resources cover energy storage safety (NFPA 855 compliance, Claims vs. Facts reports), manufacturing reports (Energy Storage Powers American Manufacturing), market analyses (Outlook for Energy Storage in PJM), and cybersecurity guidance. The Coalition's mission focuses on advancing policies to ensure grid reliability, lower energy costs, strengthen grid capacity for AI infrastructure, and scale American manufacturing and minerals production.

Partnerships

Twelve partnerships are on record, tiered core and major.

• National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)coreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 2 October 2025NFPA 855 is the gold standard for energy storage safety developed by fire service professionals. The coalition works with NFPA to promote adoption of this standard across state and local jurisdictions, providing model ordinance templates and safety guidance.
• The Brattle GroupmajorStrategic or Co-development Partner · 2 October 2025Third-party research firm commissioned by the coalition to conduct the Outlook for Energy Storage in PJM report. The research demonstrates the need for 16 GW of storage by 2032 in PJM territory and informs policy recommendations.
• American Clean Power Association (ACP)coreStrategic or Co-development PartnerACP is an allied industry group. The coalition's resources, research reports, and video content are often provided courtesy of ACP, indicating a collaborative relationship in advancing energy storage policy and safety standards.
• Local Fire Departments and First ResponderscoreImplementation/ SI/ Consulting PartnerEnergy storage developers work with local fire departments for training, sharing information about risks, response plans, and safety measures. Joint initiatives promote NFPA 855 adoption and develop community-specific emergency response plans.
• TeslacoreOthersMember of the coalition. Tesla is investing in domestic manufacturing including LFP battery cell factory in Nevada and second Megapack factory in Houston, Texas. Mike Snyder, VP of Energy & Charging, quoted in coalition announcements.
• LG Energy Solution VertechcoreOthersCoalition member and executive Tristan Doherty serves on coalition leadership. Company expanding U.S. manufacturing footprint including Michigan operations and Arizona LFP facility.
• FluencecoreOthersCoalition member. Fluence is deploying American-built energy storage systems and investing in U.S. manufacturing. President of Americas John Zahurancik quoted in coalition communications.
• Form EnergycoreOthersCoalition member. Form Energy is manufacturing iron-air batteries capable of 100-hour storage duration in West Virginia. CEO Mateo Jaramillo quoted supporting domestic manufacturing.

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• American Clean Power Association (ACP): ACP is the leading clean energy industry trade association representing wind, solar, storage, and transmission companies. It is a direct peer and active collaborator with the U.S. Energy Storage Coalition on policy advocacy and resources, and was an allied partner supporting the coalition's launch.
• Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA): SEIA is the national trade association for the U.S. solar industry and overlaps significantly with the U.S. Energy Storage Coalition on solar+storage policy, interconnection reform, and domestic manufacturing advocacy. Both organizations work on FERC and IRA-related issues affecting shared member companies.
• Advanced Energy United: Advanced Energy United is a business association representing advanced energy companies including energy storage, demand response, and DER providers. It is a direct peer of the U.S. Energy Storage Coalition in policy advocacy for grid flexibility, market design, and state regulatory engagement.

Broad incumbents

• Edison Electric Institute (EEI): EEI is the association representing all U.S. investor-owned electric utilities. Many of the U.S. Energy Storage Coalition's utility members (Dominion, DTE, AEP) are EEI members. EEI is a broader incumbent trade body with overlapping interests on grid reliability and storage procurement, but not storage-specific.
• National Association of Manufacturers (NAM): NAM is the largest U.S. industrial trade association and overlaps with the U.S. Energy Storage Coalition's manufacturing-on shoring narrative (e.g., $100 billion domestic factory investment, 350,000 jobs). NAM represents the broader policy environment for domestic battery and storage manufacturing.
• American Petroleum Institute (API): API represents the U.S. oil and natural gas industry. While not a direct peer on storage, several coalition members (ExxonMobil, Shell) straddle both organizations, and API's positions on grid reliability, dispatchable resources, and energy security partially overlap with the coalition's messaging on storage complementing baseload power.

Emerging players

• National Mining Association (NMA): NMA represents U.S. mining and critical minerals producers — directly aligned with the coalition's $100 billion commitment, which includes domestic critical mineral supply chain investment (lithium, graphite). It is an adjacent peer working on shared policy priorities around permitting and domestic mineral production.

Others

• Grid Storage Launchpad (U.S. DOE / PNNL-hosted consortium): The DOE Grid Storage Launchpad is a federal R&D consortium focused on grid-scale energy storage validation and standards. While not a trade association, it is a related ecosystem participant that engages coalition members on safety codes, performance standards, and testing — areas of mutual advocacy interest.
• National Fire Protection Association (NFPA): NFPA is a standards-developing organization for fire and electrical safety. The U.S. Energy Storage Coalition actively promotes adoption of NFPA 855 (Stationary Energy Storage Systems) and partners with NFPA on model ordinances. NFPA is an ecosystem partner rather than a peer, but directly shapes the coalition's safety advocacy.
• Wood Mackenzie / Brattle Group (research ecosystem): The Brattle Group (the coalition's commissioned research partner), Wood Mackenzie, and other energy research consultancies produce the underlying market and policy data that the U.S. Energy Storage Coalition leverages for advocacy. They are enabling ecosystem participants rather than direct trade body peers.
