On May 7th, the National Energy Administration and five other departments jointly issued the "Notice on Strengthening the Safety Management of Electrochemical Energy Storage."
The deployment of grid-scale electricity storage, including battery energy storage systems (BESS), has accelerated with the transition toward a decarbonised and flexible electricity system and the electrification of the wider energy system.
The 2025 national energy storage policy affects everyone from EV owners to solar panel enthusiasts. This isn''t just government jargon; it''s about how we''ll keep the lights on in an era of climate chaos.
On February 2025, two national ministries in China issued Document No. 136, which eliminated mandatory energy storage requirements, signaling the end of a crude growth model characterized by heavy installations with minimal effectiveness.
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
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).
The US Department of Energy (DOE) has released its draft Energy Storage Strategy and Roadmap (SRM), a plan providing strategic direction and opportunities to optimise DOE''s energy storage investments ahead of the incoming Trump administration.
The Department of Energy''s (DOE) Energy Storage Strategy and Roadmap (SRM) represents a significantly expanded strategic revision on the original ESGC 2020 Roadmap.
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 Department of Energy''s (DOE) Energy Storage Strategy and Roadmap (SRM) represents a significantly expanded strategic revision on the original ESGC 2020 Roadmap.
The backlog of new power generation and energy storage seeking transmission connections across the U.S. grew again in 2023, with nearly 2,600 gigawatts (GW) of generation and storage capacity now actively

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.
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.
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)).
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).
Some sources Energy-Storage.news has spoken to have said that they expect energy storage to be a continued focus of political support, not least of all because it’s good business and many investments in battery manufacturing in particular are in traditionally Republican states.
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.
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.
