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.
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.
Three distinct yet interlinked dimensions can illustrate energy storage's expanding role in the current and future electric grid—renewable energy integration, grid optimization, and electrification and decentralization support.
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.
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.
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.
