Energy Storage Guidebook

As many countries seek to reduce their carbon emissions and increase the amount of variable renewable energy (VRE) on their grids, energy storage provides an attractive solution to provide grid flexibility and reliability. This guidebook is designed to provide relevant decision makers with the information they need to understand energy storage and to make informed policy, regulatory, and investment decisions around grid-connected energy storage. This guidebook is focused on grid-connected storage, which is storage that is connected to a centralized power system.

This guidebook is based on information from two USAID-NREL reports:

• USAID Grid-Scale Energy Storage Technologies Primer
• USAID Energy Storage Decision Guide for Policymakers
