Utility-Scale Energy Storage: Key to Resource Adequacy for Power Systems

Weather event preparedness is becoming an increasingly important part of resource planning. As a result, utility regulators must plan for resource adequacy by working with providers to ensure that enough electricity meets demand in a variety of conditions. This involves complex modeling based on assumptions about conditions in future decades that are increasingly hard to predict and that can significantly affect electricity supply and demand.

We’ve created a new Playbook that explores how large, reliable, stored energy can support decarbonization while also managing risks. In this Playbook you will learn:

• How to assess energy storage needs and solutions
• How to identify what makes energy storage projects successful
• How to address challenges and concerns about large-scale energy storage
