MASSACHUSETTS
Massachusetts has a program offering developers higher compensation per kilowatt-hour if storage is included in the project. This favorable policy allows developers to put larger DG solar projects behind the same interconnection point, enabling them to generate more power during the day and discharge it in the evening.
RHODE ISLAND
The Rhode Island Public Utilities Commission is investigating the treatment of storage as an electric distribution system resource and issued a notice requesting stakeholder comments, which were due by Jan. 30, 2020.
NEW YORK
Thanks to aggressive goals set by both Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York Public Service Commission, energy storage has had a clear glidepath to expansion in the Empire State. The New York Public Service Commission—following on Cuomo’s ambitious proposal of putting 1,500 MW of energy storage into service by 2025—issued an order requiring 3,000 MW of energy storage by 2030. Under the Value of Distributed Energy Resources program, New York is one of the leaders in DG PV commercial storage policy—and it’s expected to continue its growth for years.
MARYLAND
The Maryland Energy Association has announced the continuation of its renewable- energy storage tax credit for 2020, which has set aside $450,000 in tax credits for DG PV + storage. Credits will be given on a first-come, first-served basis for energy storage systems installed from Jan. 1, 2020–Dec. 31, 2020.
