What are the different types of energy storage policy?
Approximately 16 states have adopted some form of energy storage policy, which broadly fall into the following categories: procurement targets, regulatory adaption, demonstration programs, financial incentives, and consumer protections. Below we give an overview of each of these energy storage policy categories.
Does the energy storage strategic plan address new policy actions?
This SRM does not address new policy actions, nor does it specify budgets and resources for future activities. This Energy Storage SRM responds to the Energy Storage Strategic Plan periodic update requirement of the Better Energy Storage Technology (BEST) section of the Energy Policy Act of (42 U.S.C. § 17232 (b) (5)).
What is a storage policy?
All of the states with a storage policy in place have a renewable portfolio standard or a nonbinding renewable energy goal. Regulatory changes can broaden competitive access to storage such as by updating resource planning requirements or permitting storage through rate proceedings.
Why is Doe investing in energy storage?
The underlying motivation for DOE’s strategic investment in energy storage is to ensure that the American people will have access to energy storage innovations that enable resilient, flexible, affordable, and secure energy systems and supply, for everyone, everywhere.
How can America improve energy storage?
: Increasing America’s global leadership in energy storage through a DOE-wide effort led by OE and EERE to develop, commercialize, and use next-generation technologies. : Reducing grid-scale storage costs by 90% within the decade for systems that deliver 10+ hours through a variety efforts coordinated by the ESGC.
