Report, States Energy Storage Policy

This report identifies and summarizes existing trends in state energy storage policy in support of decarbonization, and contrasts these trends with the preferences of energy storage development firms, collected via survey. It provides a deeper look into key state energy storage priorities and challenges through five case studies based on interviews with state policymakers.

Altogether, the report intends to outline state policy best practices and priority issues and to outline an energy storage policy framework that can be adopted by other states to support decarbonization goals. Topics covered include procurement mandates, utility ownership, incentives and tax credits, and distribution system planning.
