How effective is energy storage policymaking?
Yet the most effective approaches to energy storage policymaking are far from clear. This report, published jointly by Sandia National Laboratories and the Clean Energy States Alliance, summarizes findings from a survey of states leading in decarbonization goals and programs.
Does state energy storage policy support decarbonization?
The report highlights best practices, identifies barriers, and underscores the urgent need to expand state energy storage policymaking to support decarbonization in the US. This report and webinar were developed on behalf of the Energy Storage Technology Advancement Partnership (ESTAP).
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.
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)).
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.
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.
Allocation of policy resources for energy storage development
A single policy to support energy storage would not capture the environmental benefits of storage development. Instead, the current need is to devise a bundle of policies that support both
