ENERGY STORAGE

EnerKnol's Visual Primer - Battery Storage Catching up to Natural Gas as a Peaking Resource

EnerKnol’s Visual Primer – Battery Storage Catching up to Natural Gas as a Peaking Resource

Growing large-scale deployments of energy storage systems, driven by declining costs and evolving technology, has opened an opportunity for these systems to compete with traditional natural gas peaker plants. Standalone storage makes for a resource-agnostic solution that would enable utilities to charge up as required using the available energy mix. As improvements in technology allow battery systems to provide power for longer periods, utilities will benefit as they must manage a growing share of renewables while meeting peak demand.

Arizona Proposes 3 GW Energy Storage Goal, Most Ambitious Nationwide

Arizona Proposes 3 GW Energy Storage Goal, Most Ambitious Nationwide

Arizona's Energy Modernization Plan would set a goal 3,000 MW of energy storage by 2030, the most ambitious in the nation. The plan seeks to address peak demand challenges and provide system backup and stability through large-scale storage. Declining costs combined with a growing recognition of the multiple benefits of storage have led more states to consider storage in their energy planning and regulation. Moving forward, the future of storage will depend on creating rates and markets that capture the full value of storage and improving grid connection practices.

New York Grid Operator Unveils Plan for Energy Storage Participation in Wholesale Markets

New York Grid Operator Unveils Plan for Energy Storage Participation in Wholesale Markets

The New York Independent System Operator has unveiled a proposal for full participation of energy storage in the state's wholesale electricity markets by 2023. The grid operator envisions storage as a vital tool for managing the growing penetration of intermittent and distributed energy resources (DERs). Recently, several other states have turned to storage as a way of solving the intermittency of DERs, delivering more dynamic energy services, and addressing peak demand challenges.

Massachusetts Among First to Consider Net Metering for Energy Storage amid Calls by Tesla

Massachusetts Among First to Consider Net Metering for Energy Storage amid Calls by Tesla

The Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities has initiated a proceeding to investigate the eligibility of energy storage systems to net meter. Stakeholder comments in prior proceedings prompted the investigation, which comes at a time of boom for the storage industry which reflects in the policy realm. Multiple states have passed policies supporting storage, such as mandates, tax incentives, streamlined permitting processes, and research and development programs. While the spread of renewables will be one major driver for the growth of storage, grid resiliency efforts, especially in the wake of weather disasters, will provide another avenue for growth in the industry.

Maryland Energy Storage Credits Create Model for States with Nascent Storage Markets

Maryland legislature has passed a bill (SB 758) establishing the nation’s first tax credits for energy storage systems. The legislation is well timed to support Maryland’s new renewable portfolio standard goals, reflecting the growing role of energy storage technologies in supporting the growth of renewables. Maryland could serve as a model for states exploring ways to bolster their nascent storage markets, as tax credits present a simpler alternative to mandates and incentives.
