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)).
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.
This table includes all existing state energy storage procurement mandates, targets, and goals. These terms describe various ways states may set an intention to attain a specified level of energy storage deployment by a specific date, and the role of regulated electric utilities in helping realize that intention.
The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority filed with the New York Public Service Commission a proposed bulk energy storage program implementation plan designed to support the state’s build-out of storage deployments to meet the stated goal and to reduce projected costs by nearly $2 billion.
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.
A 2021 law, An Act to Advance Energy Storage in Maine, established energy storage goals and directed steps to advance storage deployment. In 2023, Maryland's HB 910 established storage deployment targets. Massachusetts' energy storage target was established in 2018 by An Act to Advance Clean Energy and updated in 2024.
