Energy storage policy in august

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.

How many GW of energy storage will be installed in 2023?

Specifically, there are plans to install 6.3GW of energy storage between August and December 2023, contributing to an expected annual installation total of 9.6GW for 2023, marking a remarkable 133% year-on-year growth.

What is the future of energy storage in 2023?

In the first half of 2023, the United States saw significant growth in its utility energy storage capacity and reserves: According to S&P Global’ s forecast, the new installed capacity of U.S. utility energy storage (battery storage) is projected to reach 3.50GW in Q3 2023, marking an 81% increase compared to the previous quarter.

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.

Will long duration energy storaget be a commercial liftoff?

As outlined in the March 2023 DOE report Pathways to Commercial Liftoff: Long Duration Energy Storaget, market recognition of LDES’s full value, through increased compensation or other means, will enable commercial viability and market “liftoff” for many technologies even before fully achieving the Storage Shot target.

What is the future of energy storage?

Storage enables electricity systems to remain in balance despite variations in wind and solar availability, allowing for cost-effective deep decarbonization while maintaining reliability. The Future of Energy Storage report is an essential analysis of this key component in decarbonizing our energy infrastructure and combating climate change.
