Storage Enables Deep Decarbonization of Electricity SystemsRecognize Tradeoffs Between “Zero” and “Net-Zero” EmissionsInvest in Analytical Resources and Regulatory Agency StaffLong-Duration Storage Needs Federal SupportReward Consumers For More Flexible Electricity UseEnergy storage is a potential substitute for, or complement to, almost every aspect of a power system, including generation, transmission, and demand flexibility. Storage should be co-optimized with clean generation, transmission systems, and strategies to reward consumers for making their electricity use more flexible.See more on energy.mit eriyabv [PDF]
The prospects of energy storage and photovoltaics
In the electricity sector, governments should consider energy storage, alongside other flexibility options such as demand response, power plant retrofits, or smart grids, as part of their long-term strategic
