•Policy and regulatory uncertainty, rather than technology or cost, is identified as the primary impediment to energy storage deployment and investment across both US and European markets, impacting project timelines and financial viability.
•In the US, evolving interconnection queues, permitting delays, and inconsistent state-level market design rules (e.g., for capacity market participation) pose significant risks, often hindering the full realization of IRA benefits.
