Opinion: A battery boom in Ohio could lower costs and raise reliability

The nation’s power grid has experienced more intense change in just the past few years than it has in the past two decades, when energy demand was mostly flat.

This period of growth is both an opportunity to build a stronger grid designed for this century, and a daunting challenge to get it right so that customers benefit from reliable electricity powering their daily lives while keeping their monthly bills affordable.

Rapid data center development from a shifting economy, electrification of transportation and buildings, and advanced manufacturing are colliding with an aging grid and an era of advanced energy technologies. Ohio is one of several states at the forefront of this generational transition, ranking fifth in the nation for data center development.
