Table of State Energy Storage Procurement Targets and Installation Status
The table below lists state energy storage procurement targets and the current status of those targets.
Included in this table are 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 instruct regulated electric utilities to help realize that intention.
- A Mandate is a goal with legal liability for non-attainment
- A Target is a defined goal with measures for follow-through
- A Goal is a number without defined accountability.
Abbreviations: Some of the abbreviations used in this table are: kW (kilowatts), MW (megawatts), GW (gigawatts), kWh (kilowatt hours), MWh (megawatt hours), GWh (gigawatt hours), BTM (behind-the-meter, which refers to customer-sited installations), and IOU (investor-owned utility).
Data Sources: Data on how much energy storage is installed or pending per state is based on the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory’s Energy Storage Policy Database. Some of the data gathered on how much BTM storage is installed was gathered from state websites and from EIA.
This table does not include legacy pumped hydro installations, which largely predate state energy storage goals.
This table was last updated in May 2024.
