The present disclosure provides a method and a system for estimating capacity and usage pattern of behind-the-meter energy storage in electric networks. Conventional techniques on estimating an effective capacity of behind-the-meter energy storage of a consumer, in presence of distributed energy generation units is limited, computationally intensive and provide inaccurate prediction. The present disclosure provides an accurate estimate of the effective capacity and usage pattern of behind-the-meter energy storage of a target consumer utilizing data samples received from a utility in presence of one or more distributed energy generation units, using an energy balance equation with less computation and accurate prediction. Based on accurate estimation of the effective capacity and usage pattern, the utility may plan for proper infrastructure to meet power demands of the consumers.
