2025 domestic energy storage tendering plan

What is the long duration energy storage program?

The Long Duration Energy Storage program will pave the way for opportunities to foster a diverse portfolio of energy storage technologies that will contribute to a safe and reliable future grid. This program plays an important role in achieving California's zero carbon goals.

How can energy storage be used in future states?

Target future states collaboratively developed as visions for the beneficial use of energy storage. Click on an individual state to explore identified gaps to achievement. Energy storage is essential to a clean and modern electricity grid and is positioned to enable the ambitious goals for renewable energy and power system resilience.

Will long duration energy storaget be a commercial liftoff?

As outlined in the March 2023 DOE report Pathways to Commercial Liftoff: Long Duration Energy Storaget, market recognition of LDES’s full value, through increased compensation or other means, will enable commercial viability and market “liftoff” for many technologies even before fully achieving the Storage Shot target.

Why was the energy storage roadmap updated in 2022?

The Energy Storage Roadmap was reviewed and updated in 2022 to refine the envisioned future states and provide more comprehensive assessments and descriptions of the progress needed (i.e., gaps) to achieve the desired 2025 vision.

How much will a 100 mw PBA system cost in 2030?

Based on a 100 MW PbA system with 10 hours of storage in 2030, the projected baseline 2030 LCOS is $0.380/kWh. Analysis findings indicate that in the top 10% of highest impact scenarios, the potential LCOS ranged from $0.075/kWh–$0.097/kWh with a mean potential portfolio cost of $176 million.

How do you plan a new generation energy storage system?

The interconnection of new generation assets, loads, or storage within the electric grid must first be evaluated by planning engineers. Developers looking to deploy must hire or utilize consultants at their own risk to perform initial screening studies to find reasonable sites for the energy storage technology.
