Energy storage (ES) plays a key role in the energy transition to low-carbon economies due to the rising use of intermittent renewable energy in electrical
In Oregon, law HB 2193 mandates that 5 MWh of energy storage must be working in the grid by 2020. New Jersey passed A3723 in 2018 that sets New Jersey''s energy storage target at 2,000 MW by 2030. Arizona State Commissioner Andy Tobin has proposed a target of 3,000 MW in energy storage by 2030.
The implementation of projects for energy storage in urban areas in North America faces legal barriers []. Any energy storage installation within a local
Longer duration products tend to have lower unit costs in terms of USD/kWh but higher overall costs in absolute terms versus shorter duration products. Merchant revenue tends to increase with discharge duration (for a given MW size) but with diminishing returns. Net present values (NPV) do not always increase with duration (see Figure 2).
In early May, the state''s senate voted 21-9 in favor of SB 624, a bill that would place significant permitting restrictions and fines on solar and wind energy projects in the state. Ongoing legislation from SB
