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.
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.
This table includes all existing state energy storage procurement mandates, targets, and goals. These terms describe various ways states may set an intention to attain a specified level of energy storage deployment by a specific date, and the role of regulated electric utilities in helping realize that intention.
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).
