SoCalGas and SDG&E fall under California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) jurisdiction for their natural gas rates and natural gas services, including in-state transportation over the
However, while the CSI Program is designed to incentivize solar-plus-storage projects, this Straw will focus on incentivizing stand-alone energy storage devices physically connected to a New
s nearly tripled from 2003 to 2023, increasing to $27.7 billion. Electricity transmission systems consist of the wires and structures required to transmit high-voltage power long distances from
Grid-scale energy storage has been growing in the power sector for over a decade, spurred by variable wholesale energy prices, technology developments, and state and federal
The goal of the DOE Energy Storage Program is to develop advanced energy storage technologies, systems and power conversion systems in collaboration with industry, academia,
The outlook for the power generation sector in 2025 promises a continuation of the energy transition, though there''s plenty of debate about the direction of the industry.
We find that comprehensively planned, high-capacity transmission saves consumers money on electric bills, reduces congestion on the grid, unlocks access to lower-cost generation, avoids
This study aims to investigate the rationality of incorporating grid-side energy storage costs into transmission and distribution (T&D) tariffs, evaluating this approach using
Changes in trade and tax policy may increase costs and put a damper on near-term forecasted energy storage projects. On February 4, 2025, an additional 10% tariff on all goods
In this work we describe the development of cost and performance projections for utility-scale lithium-ion battery systems, with a focus on 4-hour duration systems. The projections are
Depending on how energy is stored, storage technologies can be broadly divided into the following three categories: thermal, electrical and hydrogen (ammonia). The electrical category
A battery energy storage system (BESS) is an electrochemical device that charges (or collects energy) from the grid or a power plant and then discharges that energy at a later time to
Capacity and transmission costs in New England are rising; we are seeing the short term increases now and expect more significant increases in the longer term. Some New
Utilities installed first natural gas-fired generation, then wind and solar generation, and, more recently, battery storage. New lines were connected to renewable resources. New
