States Advance Large-Scale Battery Storage to Meet Deployment Targets
From California’s streamlined permitting to New Jersey’s push for transmission-scale storage, states are driving gigawatt-level battery projects to meet ambitious goals.
Across the U.S., states are accelerating efforts to deploy large-scale energy storage through streamlined permitting, competitive solicitations, and…Read the full report
Key Takeaways
- The California Energy Commission has approved the first project under the state’s accelerated permitting program, a solar-plus-storage facility set to host the world’s largest battery system.
- New Jersey has issued its first solicitation for transmission-scale energy storage as part of its revamped energy storage program to strategically procure 1 GW of capacity, with a goal of awarding 350–750 MW over the next year.
- New York has launched its first request for proposals for bulk energy storage projects, aiming to procure 1 GW of capacity as part of the state's broader goal to deploy 6 GW of energy storage by 2030.
