Energy Storage Coalition Comment on the U.S. Department of Energy Speed to Power Initiative

The ESC commends the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for actively evaluating a broad range of measures to enable the interconnection of large loads through its Speed to Power Request for Information (RFI). The Coalition provides recommendations on how the DOE can advance policies that enhance flexibility, mitigate grid impact as demand grows, and ultimately stabilize electricity prices for all consumers. Energy storage is a unique resource and tool for quickly advancing all of these objectives. 

Energy Storage Coalition Filing at FERC on the Large Load Interconnection ANOPR

The ESC filed comments with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission on Friday, November 21 to inform the Commission's pending rulemaking related to the interconnection of large loads such as data centers, industrial facilities, and factories. The ESC commends the U.S. Department of Energy and Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) for evaluating measures to enable the interconnection of large loads by leveraging strategies and resources that enhance flexibility, mitigate grid impact, and ultimately stabilize electricity prices for all consumers.

Energy Storage Makes Baseload Resources Better

Energy storage helps America’s baseload power plants run stronger and steadier by storing power when demand is low and delivering it instantly when demand spikes. That means plants operate more efficiently, avoid costly ramp-ups, and stay ready to meet the nation’s power needs 24/7. Pairing storage with traditional generation strengthens the grid, protects consumers from blackouts, and keeps reliable, American-made energy on the system.

Fact Sheet: Outlook for Energy Storage in PJM

PJM needs to deploy 16 GW of energy storage to maintain grid reliability through 2032. A new report by The Brattle Group, commissioned by the U.S. Energy Storage Coalition, demonstrates the need to deploy energy storage at scale to make sure the grid has enough power to reliably meet demand in the Pennsylvania-New Jersey-Maryland (PJM) Interconnection territory, which spans large swaths of the Midwest and the Mid-Atlantic.

Outlook for Energy Storage in PJM

A new report from the U.S. Energy Storage Coalition, warns that PJM must deploy at least 16 GW of energy storage–enough to power 12 million homes–by 2032 and 23 GW by 2040 to ensure system reliability. Without this buildout, the region, which serves 65 million customers from Chicago to New Jersey, risks severe power shortages, forced load shedding of up to 15 GW during extreme weather, and sharp increases in electricity costs.
