Texas is building more grid scale battery storage than any other state:

This year EIA again expects Texas to outpace California, only now by an even wider margin than last year. The Lone Star State could build nearly 7 GW of utility-scale storage in 2025 compared to California’s 4.2 GW.

- jeffbee 1y agoNote though that this is largely because Texas uses a crazy amount of energy compared to California. Some due to local climate, some due to lack of efficiency regs, and a lot due to lack of rooftop solar (going back to their weather again). California's record for grid demand served by batteries is 4x the record of Texas. California's renewables-to-load ratio is double Texas's. Again this is significantly due to California having over 5x the rooftop solar of Texas, which lowers grid demand in the daytime.
