From the perspective of the industry, the relief could not come soon enough. With the increasing penetration of renewable energy resources, the demand for energy storage resources that can provide capacity—the ability to provide dispatchable energy—has become paramount.

Why is a high solar PV penetration portfolio important?

In a high solar PV penetration context, a storage portfolio with this operating pattern indicates grid optimization, renewables integration, and GHG emissions reductions towards the state's clean energy goals.

What services can energy storage provide?

Transmission- and distribution-connected energy storage participated in energy, ancillary services, and capacity markets, and demonstrated capability to provide a wide variety of other services. Significant cost reductions were achieved for installations across all grid domains.

What type of energy storage projects are recent contracts for?

Recent contracts are predominantly for much larger transmission-connected energy storage projects. Earlier energy storage contracts were significantly more expensive across all grid domains, and they generally reflect the cost reductions seen in the global storage industry.
