The standard, which took effect in 2020, offers incentives to clean energy generators and battery storage owners that discharge power into the grid at times of peak demand, helping to lower the demand on power plants. "But for that standard, our project would not be viable," Sherman said. Wessel and Sherman both express hope that this

The 2019-2021 Energy Efficiency Plan includes some $13 million in customer incentive payments for energy storage. This unprecedented advance is expected to drive the installation of behind-the-meter batteries capable of storing 30-34 megawatts. That''s more than 15 times the amount of batteries currently installed in the state.
Tom Ferguson, energy storage programs manager for the state''s Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs, said with the program''s $275 per
The SMART program officially started on November 26th, 2018. Property owners interconnecting their solar panel systems after this date are not eligible for the old SREC program. With SMART, solar energy system owners receive a payment from the state for their solar production at a fixed rate per kilowatt-hour (kWh) of solar energy

On October 30, 2015, the energy consultant team conducting the Energy Storage Study held an energy storage stakeholders meeting to identify and evaluate the appropriate value of the services energy storage can provide to ratepayers and the grid. Presentations from the October 30 Stakeholder Workshop can be downloaded here: What''s Driving Energy
Video. MITEI''s three-year Future of Energy Storage study explored the role that energy storage can play in fighting climate change and in the global adoption of clean energy grids. Replacing fossil fuel-based power generation with power generation from wind and solar resources is a key strategy for decarbonizing electricity.
Utility DTE Energy has begun constructing a battery energy storage system (BESS) project at the site of a decommissioned coal power plant in its Michigan, US, service area. The energy supplier retired the Trenton Channel Power Plant in the city of the same name two years ago in 2022. Known locally as Trenton Stacks, the coal-burning
The Governor launched the Energy Storage Initiative in May 2015, with the goal of advancing the energy storage segment of the Massachusetts clean energy industry by: Attracting, supporting and promoting storage
Under sponsorship by the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center and the Department of Energy Resources, UMass Clean Energy Extension surveyed leading Massachusetts academic researchers and principals and entrepreneurs at a broad range of Massachusetts-based battery ventures to evaluate our battery energy storage (BES)
The value of your adder depends on the type of battery you install and the size of your solar panel system – for the average 8 kW system in Massachusetts, your battery can earn you an additional $237 to $732 a year, or $2,370 to $7,320 over the 10-year duration of the SMART program. Calculating your battery adder can be complicated
The project is the first utility-scale energy storage facility in Massachusetts and will be the largest battery installation of its kind in New England, in terms of megawatt hours. The 2-megawatt, 3.9 megawatt-hour battery storage system, to be installed at the Sterling Municipal Light Department''s Chocksett Road Substation, is
Helix Power Corporation is seeking seed capital from investors to advance its patented flywheel short-term energy storage technology. The Massachusetts-based start-up is aiming for a minimum of $500,000 and up to $1.07 million to build out and commercialize its technology. The minimum investment requirement is $1,000 and key
Historically, pumped hydro has been the predominant grid-scale source of energy storage in Massachusetts. It was originally developed in the 1960s and 1970s to capture surplus energy from nuclear power plants overnight and refill reservoirs to provide on-demand energy in daytime and evening hours of peak demand.
But stakeholders are seeking to define energy storage''s role, with Massachusetts taking that first step. In part, the inquiry grew out of a petition filed by Tesla in May 2017, seeking a ruling on the eligibility of solar power systems paired with energy storage devices to receive net metering benefits.
While Massachusetts was an early adopter among US states of a policy target for storage (introduced as 200MWh by 2025 in 2017 and later upped), most
In May 2015, Governor Charlie Baker (R) introduced a conceptual Energy Storage Initiative (ESI) in Massachusetts to incentivize energy storage companies to do business in the state, accelerate early-stage commercial energy storage technologies, expand the market for these technologies, and develop policy recommendations to advance these goals.
Six months after a target was set, energy storage in Massachusetts is beginning to take off, albeit slowly, as policies continue to evolve. Ongoing challenges to
The Massachusetts Energy Siting Facilities Board has approved two energy storage facilities with a combined capacity of 400 MW/800 MWh. This decision overturns previous rulings that hindered the development of these facilities. Once operational, they will fulfill 80% of the state''s 1 GWh energy storage deployment target
