Presumably this is only capacity connected to the grid, and doesn't include isolated data centre builds?

I was snobby and looked up the numbers because I didn't think this is relevant. But it is.

Space-Tesla installed 3 GWh in 2026 alone.

Kudos to you for bein' "that guy". So many folks sit and comment while having the world's biggest library of information on just about every topic right there at their fingertips and still can't be bothered to take the 30 seconds to look up something they don't know about on their favorite search engine. I appreciate you for havin' done "the right thing" here. :)

Rude and cowardly. If you've got a problem, talk to me directly, not about me to other people.

- The utility-scale market continued underpin growth, with 18 GWh installed, largely supported by seven gigawatt scale projects. Arizona installed over 6.2 GWh of utility scale projects, the largest quarterly deployment for any state in history.

- In the BTM space, residential storage added 657 MWh and commercial and industrial (C&I) added 1.8 GWh, largely on the back of demand from data centers.
