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.
At the federal level, several key policies, programs, and regulations help promote solar energy deployment. Many of these policies help reduce the capital costs associated with developing new solar projects, making solar a more attractive option for communities across America.
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.
As of February 2021, no proposed federal legislation existed that expressly speaks to recycling-based recovery of PV modules in the United States, however state policies have stated to emerge to address EoL PV management concerns. Bills in the legislatures of California, Hawaii, and Rhode Island address PV module recycling.
Domestic recovery of PV module material could decrease module and module material imports, increase supply stability, and provide an opportunity to expand PV material and module manufacturing in the United States (Curtis et al. 2021b).
In this final rule, DOE has deleted “power storage (such as flywheels and batteries, generally less than 10 MW)” from the examples in B5.1. DOE does potential environmental impacts. Including a capacity limit within the categorical exclusion environmental impacts have not changed.
