A dvocacy for storage policy and standardization is ongoing at a federal, state and local level. As the DG PV + storage market continues to expand, we expect more states to begin to use storage to meet their ambitious renewable portfolio standards. Here is a run-down of current state policies based on a report by the Energy Storage Association: The State of State Policies
CALIFORNIA
COLORADO Colorado was the first state to advance the right to energy storage into law, and it’s continuing to look at opportunities to expand storage beyond its current boundaries. Proposals include expanding RESA (Renewable Energy Standard Adjustment) funds to include DG PV + storage projects.
Toward the end of 2019, California added storage provisions to its popular Self Generation Incentive Program (SGIP), which now provides incentives to support existing, new and emerging distributed energy resources. SGIP provides rebates for qualifying distributed energy systems installed on the customer’s side of the utility meter.
