Storage enables deep decarbonization of electricity systems. Energy storage is a potential substitute for, or complement to, almost every aspect of a power system, including generation, transmission, and demand flexibility. Increased investment regulatory agency staff who will face new challenges is also warranted.
Renewable energy is increasingly becoming an important source for electricity. According to the Global Status Report by REN21, the global renewable energy (RE) policy network, the year 2017 proved to be record-breaking for renewable energy, characterized by the largest ever increase in renewable power capacity vestment in new renewable power
Grid-scale storage plays an important role in the Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario, providing important system services that range from short-term balancing and operating reserves, ancillary services for grid stability and deferment of investment in new transmission and distribution lines, to long-term energy storage and restoring grid operations following a blackout.
