4 FAQs about Energy storage plan formulation

Can energy storage planning decisions accurately quantify the cost of new energy storage assets?

However, accurately quantifying the size, location, and investment costs of new energy storage assets is a complex task, as energy storage planning decisions depend on the investment choices of other generation technologies and the integration of new transmission projects.

Does the energy storage strategic plan address new policy actions?

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)).

What is the business model for energy storage?

The business model for energy storage reli es on value stacking, providing a set of services for customers, a local utility, and the grid. By having two or three distinct contracts stacked on top of each other, you can generate multiple revenue streams.

How can energy storage improve the performance of the energy system?

Energy storage technologies can significantly improve the performance of the whole energy system. They enhance energy security, allow more cost-effective solutions, and support greater sustainability, enabling a more just energy system.
