CEG provides information, technical guidance, policy and regulatory design support, and independent analysis to help break down the barriers to energy storage deployment and advance the development and implementation
A policy primer exploring how energy storage technologies work, the benefits that storage can deliver to the electric grid, the current legal and regulatory barriers to
The Department of Energy''s (DOE) Energy Storage Strategy and Roadmap (SRM) represents a significantly expanded strategic revision on the original ESGC 2020 Roadmap.
Through these strategies, governments aim to achieve a sustainable, reliable, and economically viable energy future. A deeper understanding of each policy layer will elucidate their significance and impact on energy storage development.
The purpose of this report is to arm relevant decision makers with the initial layer of information they need to understand energy storage and to make informed policy, regulatory, and investment decisions around grid-connected energy storage.
This leads to an opportunity for energy companies, but a challenge for policymakers. The rapid development and deployment of energy storage technologies and applications must be supported through ambitious RD&D

Storage can play a significant role in achieving these goals by serving as a "non-wires alternative" that can provide added reliability and grid services as renewable resources such as wind and solar replace fossil fuel baseload resources.
By aligning with policy-driven incentives such as Investment Tax Credits, sustainability mandates, and capacity market reforms, Trina Storage empowers stakeholders to optimize grid stability, enhance renewable energy integration, and meet ambitious decarbonization targets.
Over the next decade, the U.S. must dramatically ramp up standalone storage and solar + storage installations to achieve our economic and climate goals. Federal, state and local policy action is needed to unleash the potential of storage nationwide, and SEIA is leading that advocacy.
This paper provides a comprehensive review of ESS policies worldwide, identifying the different goals, objectives and the expected outcomes. It discusses the benefits of having such policies, the impact they have and opportunities they have created in

The Department of Energy''s (DOE) Energy Storage Strategy and Roadmap (SRM) represents a significantly expanded strategic revision on the original ESGC 2020 Roadmap.
These policies are mostly concentrated around battery storage system, which is considered to be the fastest growing energy storage technology due to its efficiency, flexibility and rapidly decreasing cost. ESS policies are primarily found in regions with highly developed economies, that have advanced knowledge and expertise in the sector.
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.
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)).
ESS policies mostly promote energy storage by providing incentives, soft loans, targets and a level playing field. Nevertheless, a relatively small number of countries around the world have implemented the ESS policies.
In general, policies are designed to establish boundaries and provide regulatory guidelines. According to the Energy Storage Association (ESA), the policy tools fall under three categories which are value, access and competition .
Virginia’s target was enacted by law in 2020, which set a 3,100 MW energy storage goal by 2035. A law enacted in 2021 directed the Illinois Commerce Commission to establish storage procurement targets for all utilities serving more than 200,000 customers to achieve by 2032.
