Approximately 16 states have adopted some form of energy storage policy, which broadly fall into the following categories: procurement targets, regulatory adaption, demonstration programs, financial incentives, and consumer protections. Below we give an overview of each of these energy storage policy categories.
In 2022, Maryland became the first state to offer state income tax credit for energy storage that provides up to $5,000 for residential customers and up to $75,000 for commercial and industrial customers, subject to a program total of $750,000 per year.
All of the states with a storage policy in place have a renewable portfolio standard or a nonbinding renewable energy goal. Regulatory changes can broaden competitive access to storage such as by updating resource planning requirements or permitting storage through rate proceedings.
The new law requires the Maryland Public Service Commission to establish the Maryland Energy Storage Program by July 1, 2025 and provides for incentives for the development of energy storage. Procurement targets are beneficial in that they provide supportive signals for investors and reduce regulatory uncertainty.
The US storage market had a record-setting third quarter of 2023, adding 2,354 megawatts (MW) (or 7,322 megawatt-hours (MWh)) of installed capacity to the grid. It is expected that the US storage market will install an estimated 63 gigawatts (GW) between 2023 and 2027.
It is expected that the US storage market will install an estimated 63 gigawatts (GW) between 2023 and 2027. As of 2023, there is approximately 8.8 GW of operational utility-scale battery storage in the United States.
