Framework for Readiness Assessments of Utility-Scale Energy Storage

Integration of greater shares of distributed energy resources and renewable energy are transforming the power sector. Energy storage technologies have the potential to help meet the additional challenges of this transformation, by increasing the flexibility of the power sector and contributing to system strength. This report is intended to inform energy storage investments through the development of a framework for energy storage readiness assessments.  The framework can help policymakers and regulators identify priority areas for energy storage policy and program development. This report addresses barriers and opportunities for utility scale energy storage.
