The new budget package revises critical incentives laid out by the IRA, focusing particularly on foreign sourcing restrictions, new domestic content thresholds and rapidly approaching expiration dates.
States that have adopted incentives for energy storage development have seen notable progress in battery storage deployment. These states have encouraged growth through various means such as utility procurements, favorable regulatory frameworks, and investment in demonstration projects.
Energy storage resources have become an increasingly important component of the energy mix as traditional fossil fuel baseload energy resources transition to renewable energy sources. Currently 23 states, plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, have 100% clean energy goals in place.
This paper will explain the benefits of energy storage and how regulation and policy at the state and federal level can help guarantee a smoother transition towards a future with renewable energy.
Regulations, solar resources shaping growth of US energy storage A new report from GridBeyond examines how regulations and solar resources drive prices in the United States.
In a wide-ranging report, released March 30, the Government Accountability Office outlined some of the challenges facing energy storage and detailed the planning, regulation and market changes necessary to promote its widespread use.
The Department of Energy''s (DOE) Energy Storage Strategy and Roadmap (SRM) represents a significantly expanded strategic revision on the original ESGC 2020 Roadmap.
The new budget package revises critical incentives laid out by the IRA, focusing particularly on foreign sourcing restrictions, new domestic content thresholds and rapidly approaching expiration dates.
The 2023 state survey provides insights into key state energy storage policy priorities and the challenges being encountered by some of the leading decarbonization states.
Energy storage resources have become an increasingly important component of the energy mix as traditional fossil fuel baseload energy resources transition to renewable energy sources. Currently 23 states, plus the

Regulations, solar resources shaping growth of US energy storage A new report from GridBeyond examines how regulations and solar resources drive prices in the United States.
Energy storage projects are facing increasing scrutiny from local residents in parts of the U.S. Residents have voiced concerns about fires at energy storage facilities – in particular, lithium-ion storage facilities.
Approximately 17 states have adopted some form of energy storage policies, 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 SRM does not address new policy actions, nor does it specify budgets and resources for future activities. This Energy Storage SRM responds to the Energy Storage Strategic Plan periodic update requirement of the Better Energy Storage Technology (BEST) section of the Energy Policy Act of 2020 (42 U.S.C. § 17232 (b) (5)).
Energy storage resources have become an increasingly important component of the energy mix as traditional fossil fuel baseload energy resources transition to renewable energy sources. Currently 23 states, plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, have 100% clean energy goals in place.
The law requires that 3,500 MW be mid-duration energy storage, 750 MW be long-duration, and, if commercially available at a reasonable cost, 750 MW should be multi-day energy storage. Virginia’s target was enacted by law in 2020, which set a 3,100 MW energy storage goal by 2035.
In May 2023, Maryland enacted an energy storage target, with a goal to deploy 3 GW of storage capacity by 2033. The new law requires the Maryland Public Service Commission to establish the Maryland Energy Storage Program by July 1, 2025 and provides for incentives for the development of energy storage.
The underlying motivation for DOE’s strategic investment in energy storage is to ensure that the American people will have access to energy storage innovations that enable resilient, flexible, affordable, and secure energy systems and supply, for everyone, everywhere.
