Energy Storage – Global Power Law & Policy

The Energizer – Volume 110

Nov 22 2022

By: Buck B. Endemann, Matthew P. Clark, Nathan C. Howe, Natalie J. Reid, David Wang, and Olivia C. Ashé

There is a lot of buzz around clean technology, distributed energy resources (DERs), microgrids, and other technological innovations in the renewable energy and clean transport industries and how these developments can contribute to solving longstanding environmental justice issues. As these innovations develop, energy markets will undergo substantial changes to which consumers and industry participants alike will need to adapt and leverage. Every other week, K&L Gates’ The Energizer will highlight emerging issues or stories relating to the use of DERs, energy storage, emerging technologies, hydrogen, and other innovations driving the energy industry forward.

The K&L Gates Power practice is pleased to present the latest edition of the Energy Storage Handbook.

This handbook is an annually updated primer on what energy storage is, how it is regulated by U.S. federal and state governments, and what sorts of issues are encountered when such projects are financed and developed.

We will continue to update this handbook periodically as additional states and stakeholders continue to address the implementation of energy storage resources in the marketplace.

We hope you find it useful and welcome your feedback.
