State by State: A Roadmap Through the Current US Energy Storage Policy
Energy storage resources are becoming an increasingly important component of the energy mix as traditional fossil fuel baseload energy resources transition to renewable energy
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.
Maine also set its goal in 2021 to achieve 400 MW of installed storage capacity by 2030, with an interim target of 300 MW by 2025. New York originally set a goal to procure 3 GW of energy storage by 2030, but New York Governor Kathy Hochul most recently announced plans to double that goal to reach 6 GW by 2030.
Approximately 16 states have adopted some form of energy storage policy, 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.
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.
