What are the different types of energy storage policy? Approximately 16 states have adopted some form of energy storage policy, which broadly fall into the following categories:
STORAGE POLICY ASSESSMENT Massachusetts is among a handful of U.S. states that is currently on the forefront of establishing energy storage policies through legislation and
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.
Energy Storage Policy —Current Status About 15 states have adopted some form of energy storage policy, which in all cases exists along with a renewables policy. Energy storage activity
In December 2020, DOE released the Energy Storage Grand Challenge (ESGC), which is a comprehensive program for accelerating the development, commercialization, and utilization of
Energy storage is a key technology to allow us to fully retire polluting natural gas, oil, and coal plants that emit harmful carbon dioxide and other polluting emissions. Energy storage is also

These policies come in many forms, such as mandates, financial incentives, and new regulations, but they share a common goal of facilitating the deployment of energy storage on the electric grid. In recent years, several states have enacted sweeping energy storage legislation that implements multiple energy storage policies at once (PNNL 2022).
Since the publication of the first Energy Storage Safety Strategic Plan in 2014, there have been introductions of new technologies, new use cases, and new codes, standards, regulations, and testing methods. Additionally, failures in deployed energy storage systems (ESS) have led to new emergency response best practices.
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)).
In some contexts, for energy storage systems, compliance regulations take the form of a state adopting a code, which then references and requires testing and listing or adherence to a standard. Some cities, counties, and special administrative districts (e.g., school or sewer districts) also adopt locally amended codes for their environments.
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.
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 .
