What are energy storage systems?

TORAGE SYSTEMS 1.1 IntroductionEnergy Storage Systems (“ESS”) is a group of systems put together that can store and elease energy as and when required. It is essential in enabling the energy transition to a more sustainable energy mix by incorporating more renewable energy sources that are intermittent

What is new energy storage?

New energy storage refers to electricity storage processes that use electrochemical, compressed air, flywheel and supercapacitor systems but not pumped hydro, which uses water stored behind dams to generate electricity when needed.

Does energy storage need a regulatory framework?

Currently, no jurisdiction provides a comprehensive regulatory framework for energy storage. Instead, most jurisdictions define storage as 'generation' for licensing and other regulatory purposes.

What is behind-the-meter energy storage?

Behind-the-meter energy storage systems enable consumers to draw energy from the grid and store it for later on-site use or to enable better use of any onsite generation, such as rooftop solar. These systems can alter a consumer’s demand profile.

When will new energy storage development be introduced?

The commission said earlier it will introduce a plan for new energy storage development for 2021-25 and beyond, while local energy authorities should also make plans for the scale and project layout of new energy storage systems in their regions.

Should energy storage be regulated?

A robust regulatory framework would reflect storage’s unique ability to act as generation and consumption and remove the need to pay end-user electricity consumption charges. The vast majority of countries do not have a specific subsidy regime.
