These policies are mostly concentrated around battery storage system, which is considered to be the fastest growing energy storage technology due to its efficiency, flexibility and rapidly decreasing cost. ESS policies are primarily found in regions with highly developed economies, that have advanced knowledge and expertise in the sector.
More details can be found in the SDG 7 database and the energy access methodology. The IEA’s Energy Policy Inventory provides a unique database over the current state of energy policy worldwide. This tracker inventories the most up-to-date policies for more than 50 countries in the IEA’s Policies and Measures Database.
Impact of energy storage system policy ESS policies are the reason storage technologies are developing and being utilised at a very high rate. Storage technologies are now moving in parallel with renewable energy technology in terms of development as they support each other.
In general, policies are designed to establish boundaries and provide regulatory guidelines. According to the Energy Storage Association (ESA), the policy tools fall under three categories which are value, access and competition .
The Energy Policy Inventory aims at mapping key energy policies around the globe, compiling over 50 key policy types from more than 50 countries, and catalogues over 5 000 energy policies to provide a clear snapshot of actions and state of play detailed by sector. It notably includes:
Our review demonstrates that no jurisdiction currently provides a comprehensive regulatory framework for energy storage, with the majority of jurisdictions currently allowing storage to be defined as “generation” for the purposes of licensing and other regulatory requirements.
