Energy Storage Policy for States Resource Library
This issue brief, released by Clean Energy Group and CESA, outlines best practices and lessons learned for state policymakers and regulators engaged in developing energy storage peak demand reduction programs. The brief explores key elements of program design, such as incentive mechanisms and dispatch methods, as well as considerations for incentivizing load reduction versus power export, and peak demand reduction versus emission reduction.
This report from CESA and Sandia National Labs compiles the results of independent research, providing a summary of emerging affordability and accessibility approaches in leading state energy storage programs. It is intended as a reference material that can be used in state energy storage policymaking across diverse geographical and regulatory jurisdictions.
This analysis demonstrates that battery storage can cost effectively replace aging fossil-fueled peaker power plants in New England.
This issue brief provides recommendations and guidance on incentive rate-setting for states seeking to develop distributed (behind-the-meter) energy storage incentive programs. It is intended to help states decide how to structure incentive programs and how to set incentive rates.
CESA submitted comments in response to the Maine Governor’s Energy Office Request for Information on Maine Energy Storage Program Development. CESA’s comments discussed opportunities to replace peaker power plants with energy storage, and answered many of the stakeholder input questions presented in the RFI.
This report highlights best practices, identifies barriers, and underscores the urgent need to expand state energy storage policymaking to support decarbonization in the US.
This report is intended as a guide for state energy agencies preparing to conduct cost-effectiveness evaluation for battery storage. It presents a benefit-cost analysis framework for battery storage and attempts to address many of the uncertainties state energy agencies may encounter.
Clean Energy Group and the Clean Energy States Alliance submitted comments to the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities on the New Jersey Energy Storage Incentive Program Straw Proposal.
