6 FAQs about [State grid s energy storage policy]
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 2022 survey of states leading in decarbonization goals and programs.
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 state energy storage policy matter?
While decisions carried out by federal regulators and regional market operators have an impact on state energy storage policy, state policymakers—and state legislators in particular—are instrumental in enacting policies that remove barriers to adoption and encourage investment in storage technologies.
Will energy storage change the dynamics of a grid?
With widespread grid failures on this scale, energy storage would have to make up a much larger share of system capacity than it currently does to change the dynamics, although it can respond to sudden system fluctuations by providing ancillary services, like frequency and voltage regulation.
What are States doing about energy storage?
States are also developing expert task forces and committees to evaluate storage technologies and opportunities for growth. Maine, for example, enacted HB 1166 (2019) creating a commission to study the benefits of energy storage in the state’s electric industry.
How do energy storage and demand response affect the grid?
As a result, the grid has historically relied on more flexible resources, such as natural gas or hydropower, to meet sudden changes in demand. Energy storage and demand response add additional flexible resources to the system operator’s toolkit, providing them with more options for balancing the grid.
