National policy for grid energy storage 2025

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: procurement targets, regulatory adaption, demonstration programs, financial incentives, and consumer protections. Below we give an overview of each of these energy storage policy categories.

How much DoE grant funding is available for grid upgrades?

Continuing to Invest in Grid Upgrades: Last week applications closed for up to $2.7 billion in DOE grant funding under the second round of the Grid Resilience and Innovation Partnerships (GRIP) program for projects to upgrade and modernize the transmission and distribution system to increase reliability and resilience.

Why should we invest in grid infrastructure?

Grid infrastructure investments, including the buildout of new long-distance, high-voltage transmission projects, can enhance resilience, improve reliability, better integrate variable generation resources, lower electricity costs, and unlock the best clean energy resources by connecting them to demand centers.

How many GW of battery storage will be installed in 2023?

It is expected that the US storage market will install an estimated 63 gigawatts (GW) between 2023 and 2027. As of 2023, there is approximately 8.8 GW of operational utility-scale battery storage in the United States.

What is Doe's innovative grid deployment liftoff report?

DOE also released the Innovative Grid Deployment Liftoff Report to chart pathways to deployment of modern, commercially available transmission and distribution technologies that could support 20 to 100 gigawatts of peak demand.

Are advanced grid solutions commercially available?

DOE’s Pathways to Commercial Liftoff: Innovative Grid Deployment report identified multiple advanced grid solutions that are commercially available today to quickly and cost effectively enhance grid capacity, including advanced transmission and grid-enhancing technologies used in many of these projects.
