The Energy Department is working to develop new storage technologies to tackle this challenge -- from supporting research on battery storage at the National Labs, to making investments that take startup concepts to grid-scale solutions.
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)). The SRM is being posted in draft form for public comment to inform the final version of the SRM.
OE's development of innovative tools improves storage reliability and safety, analysis, and performance validation. Energy Storage Technology RD&D: Improving performance characteristics, characterizing novel materials, reducing costs, ensuring safety and reliability, and uncovering community benefits.
The use of Energy Storage Resources (ESRs) on the grid is growing in New York State. It has the potential to enhance energy production from clean energy resources while supporting improved grid efficiency and resilience. Here are some common questions about this burgeoning technology. What do we mean by Energy Storage Resources (ESRs)?
The underlying motivation for DOE's strategic investment in energy storage is to ensure that the American people will have access to energy storage innovations that enable resilient, flexible, affordable, and secure energy systems and supply, for everyone, everywhere.
Energy storage provides a path to increased renewables, thanks to the ability to store energy and offset the intermittency of renewable generation. Storage resources, along with other technologies and innovations, will play a significant role in meeting state clean energy mandates.
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) saw integration of ESRs as a top national priority when it issued Order No. 841, Electric Storage Participation in Markets Operated by Regional Transmission Organizationsand Independent System Operators.

This measure will facilitate the deployment of electricity storage. The Bill amends the Electricity Act 1989 to, in effect, clarify that electricity storage is a distinct subset of generation, and defines the storage as energy that was converted from electricity and is stored for the purpose of its future reconversion into electricity.
Why are we legislating? Electricity storage covers a range of technologies that store low carbon energy for when it is needed, for example in batteries on the wall of your home or business, or in facilities that pump water to higher reservoirs when electricity is abundant, and let it flow back down through a turbine when it is scarce.
Long-duration energy storage technologies store excess power for long periods to even out the supply. In March 2024, the House of Lords Science and Technology Committee said increasing the UK's long-duration energy storage capacity would support the UK's net zero plans and energy security.

The National Audit Ofice (NAO) is the UK's independent public spending watchdog and is responsible for scrutinising public spending for Parliament.
Ofgem is the regulator for Long Duration Electricity Storage and oversees implementation of a 'cap and floor' regime for LDES projects, proposed by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ). The aim of this regime is to stimulate investment in Long Duration Electricity Storage projects.
A range of technologies – such as hydrogen, compressed air, redox flow batteries, molten salts, or synthetic fuels – could be used to store energy in different forms, or for different durations.
