At the NAATBatt 2026 Annual Conference, Stryten Energy LLC, an American company that makes energy storage systems, will talk about how important it is to use and make battery energy storage systems (BESS) in the U.S.
As electricity demand keeps going up across the United States, the company’s involvement comes at a time when people are more worried about energy resilience, power quality, and grid efficiency.
Rising Power Demand in the US
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), electricity demand is projected to reach 4,239 billion kWh in 2026, surpassing the previous record of 4,082 billion kWh set in 2024.
The EIA notes that much of this growth is driven by:
- The commercial sector, including data centers
- The industrial sector, including manufacturing facilities
This increase in demand is placing added pressure on grid infrastructure and energy reliability.
Importance of Advanced Battery Storage
“Access to reliable, high-quality energy is a significant challenge facing our nation. Advanced battery storage solutions that store and deploy energy generated from hydrocarbons and intermittent sources are a key component of solving that challenge,” said Scott Childers, Vice President, Essential Power of Stryten Energy.
“In particular, integrating batteries into our grid infrastructure is a foundational step in the journey to U.S. energy resilience and independence.”
Stryten Energy’s BESS solutions are designed to store electricity from multiple sources and release it when needed. These systems help strengthen grid reliability and support applications such as:
- Demand management
- Peak shaving and valley filling
- Frequency matching
- Resiliency applications
The company says that its battery systems can be used for projects of all sizes, from small businesses to large utilities. Users can keep an eye on and control systems in real time from anywhere in the world using the Stryten Energy inCOMMAND™ platform.
Activities at NAATBatt 2026
Stryten Energy will also participate in the following sessions:
- Company update during Member Update Presentations: Session 1B at 4:20 p.m., Tuesday, February 10
- Leading a breakfast discussion titled “FEOC Impact on Domestic Battery Manufacturing” at 7:30 a.m., Thursday, February 12, moderated by Scott Childers
The company continues to develop advanced lead, lithium, vanadium redox flow, and hybrid battery technologies to meet diverse energy storage needs.
