The New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU) has approved a programme to “significantly” expand the amount of grid-scale energy storage capacity in the state.
The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) has authorised a new centralised strategy for procuring long-lead-time resources, including long-duration energy storage (LDES).
Battery storage could play the same role on the grid as a proposed 60MW natural gas and fuel oil peaker plant in Massachusetts and not only result in lower emissions but also in cost savings.
