The need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions has catalysed the rapid growth of renewable energy worldwide. However, the intermittent nature of renewable energy requires
What is energy storage? The energy storage industry is the key and driving force for the transformation of the energy structure. Accelerating
Although the policy no longer takes the allocation of energy storage as a precondition for the approval of new energy projects under construction, etc., the need to manage intermittent wind
The paper focuses on the emerging encounter between existing social, technological, regulatory, and institutional regimes in electricity systems in Canada, the United
A world where solar panels work overtime during sunny days, storing excess energy for cloudy afternoons like a squirrel hoarding nuts for winter. That''s the promise of
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
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 technology, representing an essential tool for the energy system to achieve deep decarbonization, continues to need considerable policy support because of the
In 2017, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) and the National Energy Administration (NEA) released the Guiding Opinions on Promoting the Development of Energy
The Chinese government attaches great importance to the power battery industry and has formulated a series of related policies. To conduct policy characteristics
Storage enables electricity systems to remain in balance despite variations in wind and solar availability, allowing for cost-effective deep decarbonization while maintaining reliability. The
On September 12, 2025, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) and the National Energy Administration issued a notice on the "Action Plan for Large-Scale
The authors support defining energy storage as a distinct asset class within the electric grid system, supported with effective regulatory and financial policies for development
In addition to the state survey, we also surveyed six energy storage development companies and one industry consultant, to compare their policy priorities with those of the state energy agencies.
The current development of the energy storage industry in Taiwan''''s energy storage industry is currently in its infancy and is mainly being developed and dominated by the Taiwan Power
According to the analysis of energy storage daily parameters, compared with the "2022 Electrochemical Energy Storage Power Station Industry Statistics", the "Statistics"
The notice clearly stipulates the cancellation of the mandatory energy storage policy for new energy projects, marking the exit of the administrative energy storage
This policy aimed to address industry pain points such as inefficient resource allocation, surging cost pressure on new energy enterprises, and the phenomenon of "building
Based on the above analysis, as the first comprehensive policy document for the energy storage industry during the ''14th Five-Year Plan''
Policy that is specific to the U.S. energy industry over the last several decades has focused on three major goals: 1) ensuring a secure supply of energy; 2) keeping energy costs low; and 3)
What is the ''guidance'' for the energy storage industry? Based on the above analysis,as the first comprehensive policy documentfor the energy storage industry during the ''14th Five-Year Plan''
This policy aims to address industry pain points such as inefficient resource allocation, sharp increase in cost pressures for new energy enterprises, and the phenomenon
Based on the above analysis, as the first comprehensive policy document for the energy storage industry during the ‘14th Five-Year Plan’ period, the ‘Guidance’ provided reassurance for the development of the industry.
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.
Since April 21, 2021, the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration have issued the ‘Guidance on Accelerating the Development of New Energy Storage (Draft for Solicitation of Comments)’ (referred to as the ‘Guidance’), which has given rise to the energy storage industry and even the energy industry.
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.
In the context of the ‘dual-carbon’ goal and energy transition, the energy storage industry’s leapfrog development is the general trend and demand. The follow-up actions will inevitably introduce a series of policies for the development of energy storage to eliminate industrial development. Faced with ‘obstacles’ one by one.
The authors support defining energy storage as a distinct asset class within the electric grid system, supported with effective regulatory and financial policies for development and deployment within a storage-based smart grid system in which storage is placed in a central role.
