'''Long-Duration Energy Storage Demonstration Initiative''' focuses on advancing the technology and market readiness of energy storage systems that can discharge electricity for 10 hours or more. By supporting the demonstration of these technologies in real-world settings, the initiative aims to enhance the stability of the electric grid, facilitate the integration of variable renewable energy sources, and decrease the use of fossil fuel peaker plants.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.energy.gov/oced/long-duration-energy-storage-demonstration-initiative |title=Long-Duration Energy Storage Demonstration Initiative |accessdate=January 30, 2025}}</ref>
