This issue brief, released by Clean Energy Group and the Clean Energy States Alliance (CESA), outlines best practices and lessons learned for state policymakers and regulators engaged in developing energy storage peak demand reduction programs. But energy storage programs must be strategically and intentionally designed to achieve peak demand reduction; otherwise, battery usage may not efectively lower demand peaks and may even increase peaks and/or greenhouse gas emissions in some circumstances. 8% CAGR through 2030, yet 42% of project developers cite cost management as their top challenge. This article explores practical strategies for optimizing energy storage project budgets without compromising performance. Did You Know?.
