Storage Enables Deep Decarbonization of Electricity SystemsRecognize Tradeoffs Between “Zero” and “Net-Zero” EmissionsInvest in Analytical Resources and Regulatory Agency StaffLong-Duration Storage Needs Federal SupportReward Consumers For More Flexible Electricity UseEnergy storage is a potential substitute for, or complement to, almost every aspect of a power system, including generation, transmission, and demand flexibility. Storage should be co-optimized with clean generation, transmission systems, and strategies to reward consumers for making their electricity use more flexible.See more on energy.mit Center for Climate and Energy Solutions[PDF]
Policy Recommendations to Unlock the Value of Long-Duration
Long-duration energy storage (LDES) will play an increasingly important role in decarbonizing the power sector as more variable renewable energy is added to the electric power grid. LDES is defined by the
