About the Report
1 Figures derived from Energy Information Administration (EIA) Form 8612 See Appendix A for a full list of utility participants. Results in this section of the report are limited to the survey context, and should not be misinterpreted.
The Smart Electric Power Alliance (SEPA) began surveying electric utilities in 2007 to track the amount of solar power interconnected to the grid each year. The survey was expanded three years ago to collect energy storage and demand response deployment data. This 2019 Utility Energy Storage Market Snapshot summarizes 2018 energy storage interconnections based on the data collected from electric utilities, supplemented with SEPA’s updated trend analysis and insights that include market developments in the first half of 2019. The participating utilities represent more than 82 million customer accounts, or approximately 56% of all customer accounts throughout the U.S.1
Survey Methodology and Survey Coverage SEPA conducted its Annual Utility Survey between January and May 2019, using an online survey platform. 211 participating utilities2 throughout the United States and its territories provided cumulative and 2018 deployment data on grid interconnected energy storage installations in their service territories through December 31, 2018. SEPA encouraged participation via direct outreach to key energy storage contacts at utilities, and through partner organizations’ contact lists and newsletters. Utilities with service territories in multiple states reported data from each state separately. SEPA verified the accuracy of survey information using contacts at utilities, previous data submissions, and external sources.
Unless explicitly stated, all storage data in this document is reported in watts (W), kilowatts (kW), megawatts (MW), and gigawatts (GW). SEPA reports energy storage data in AC format as it is a more accurate accounting of the amount of energy storage that is interconnected to the grid.For the purpose of this snapshot, energy storage installations include electric storage technologies such as: batteries, flow batteries, and kinetic energy storage (such as flywheels). Additional technologies are discussed, but are not included in the data in this report. SEPA has aggregated or supplemented survey data with additional information, including energy storage project data from Energy Acuity, cumulative energy storage data from S&P Global Market Intelligence, project data acquired through online research and through interviews with energy storage project developers and stakeholders. Please note that recommissioned batteries are not counted as additional capacity. In addition, energy storage systems which are not grid interconnected, such as uninterruptible power supply (UPS) deployments, are not counted in SEPA’s energy storage deployment figures. SEPA estimated each residential battery storage system as having 5 kilowatts (kW) and 12 kilowatt-hours (kWh) in instances where utilities were unable to provide specific capacity and generation data for residential batteries. Growth rates in the report refer to year-over-year changes in added capacity unless otherwise stated in the report.For more information or questions, contact SEPA at [email protected] .

Hawaiian Electric Company’s (HECO) New Residential Battery ProgramsIn 2018, HECO, which also includes the service territories of Maui Electric Company and Hawaii Electric Light Company, deployed a total of 1,859 customer-owned residential battery storage systems, a 311.3% increase over 2017. The introduction of the Smart Export Program and the Net Energy Metering (NEM) Plus Program drove these large increases.
The Smart Export Program, introduced in 2017, allows customers to install a solar-plus-storage system and deliver energy to the grid for credit during specific time windows. The premise of the program is that customers will charge their battery systems during daylight hours (between 9am-4pm) and use that stored energy to power their homes during the evening/overnight hours. If customers produce and store excess energy, they can sell it back to the grid during evening/overnight hours, allowing customers to offset the costs of energy delivered from the grid when their system is not producing sufficient energy.5 Introduced in 2018, the NEM Plus Program allows current net metering customers the ability to add energy storage and other non-exporting renewable energy systems to their existing system(s).6 This program is especially advantageous for NEM customers who are not able to supply enough energy from existing solar systems or other DER systems and are forced to buy expensive electricity from the grid.
Self-Generation Incentive Program (SGIP), California SGIP, California’s statewide incentive program, provides rebates to support distributed energy resources interconnected behind the customer’s meter. Energy storage qualifies under two categories of resources: small residential (<10 kW) and large-scale storage (>10 kW, up to 5 MW).7 This program incentivized customers in California to add 7,344 residential energy storage systems in 2018, accounting for 61.2% of all residential systems interconnected in the U.S. in 2018.

Utilities participating in SEPA’s Annual Utility Survey continue to express high levels of interest in customer-sited storage. This year, 13% of 77 utilities reported having fully implemented customer-owned battery storage incentives, up from 4.8% in 2017. Utilities are continuing to experiment with different energy storage ownership and incentive models to promote storage penetration. In 2019, Green Mountain Power (GMP) introduced its Resilient Home program. The program uses a patent-pending approach for customer-sited energy storage, utilizing a Tesla Powerwall® as both a backup power supply and a smart meter. This approach will replace the traditional electric power meter and provide customers with a seamless and reliable electric delivery system. GMP is enrolling customers into the program, offering the option for customers to purchase two Tesla Powerwall batteries for a fixed monthly fee or purchase a Powerwall from another provider and enroll it under GMP’s Bring Your Own Device program.8
In late 2018, Dairyland Power (WI), in conjunction with four of its distribution cooperatives, announced a new customer-sited, behind-the-meter battery pilot program to investigate the effectiveness of small-scale distributed energy storage. The cooperatives are hoping the pilot program will inform the future development of widespread residential energy storage deployment by helping them answer questions such as: “How do actual installation times compare with the manufacturer’s projections?”, “How difficult is it to simultaneously discharge multiple batteries in residential locations?”, and “What is the potential rate impact, especially where net-metering is part of the rate structure?”.9
In 2018, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and the Salt River Project (SRP) announced the launch of a three-year residential battery storage program to evaluate customer battery use and the viability of the current technology for customer-sited storage. SRP is offering financial incentives for up to 4,500 customers to install residential battery systems. The program will utilize NREL’s high-performance computing systems to track and evaluate battery use and performance data.10

189.9 MWh of non-residential energy capacity was added in 2018, an increase of 34.9% over 2017.
n California interconnected 151.9 MWh of non-residential energy storage in 2018, the most of any state and a 24.8% increase over 2017. The state’s storage market is driven by favorable incentives within the Self-Generation Incentive Program (SGIP) (see page 10). n Colorado experienced the largest year-over-year percent increase in non-residential storage deployments, having interconnected 18 MWh in 2018, up from .01 MWh in 2017. This increase was driven by legislation requiring utilities to integrate storage into their planning processes.11 nNew York saw non-residential storage deployments grow by over 100% for the second year in a row. Utilities interconnected 12.4 MWh of non-residential storage in 2018, an increase of 9.7 MWh or 359.3% over 2017.

Retrieved from https://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy17osti/68963.pdf16 Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. (2017). Solar + Storage Synergies for Managing Commercial-Customer Demand Charges. Retrieved from http://eta-publications.lbl.gov/sites/default/files/solarstorage-execsummary.pdf
Approximately one-quarter of commercial and industrial (C&I) customers in the U.S. face significant ($15/kilowatt or higher) demand charges from their utilities for electricity consumed during periods of peak demand.12 It is common for demand charges to account for more than 50% of a customer’s electricity bill.13 Traditional means of reducing demand charges include curtailing electricity use during peaks, or switching to standby fossil fuel generation (where permitted under local air quality standards).The market for energy storage as a demand reduction measure is not limited to states with high electricity rates, such as California and New York. States such as Georgia, Nebraska and Colorado have some of the highest demand charges for C&I customers, despite lower electricity rates.141516
The opportunity for cost-effective demand reduction through energy storage is not uniform by state or by utility. Demand charges affect every C&I customer differently,
depending on when and how a C&I customer uses electricity. As storage costs fall, and more battery energy storage systems (BESS) are installed at C&I sites, the potential for storage to address demand charges will fall as well, tempering this economic incentive to deploy storage.Despite this dynamic, the number of utilities interested in non-residential energy storage incentives has increased from 2017. In 2018, utilities implemented 7% more non-residential customer-owned battery storage incentives programs than in 2017, with 4.8% more utilities implementing or planning non-residential utility-owned behind-the-meter battery storage programs.
NREL estimates that more than six million C&I customers could cost-effectively use energy storage at current costs to reduce demand charges of $10/kW or higher.15 Additionally, according to the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), a combination of solar and storage could nearly double the savings on demand charges from storage alone.16

C&I Energy Storage Deployment17
Maharishi University of Management of Fairfield, Iowa brought a solar-plus-storage system online in late 2018 to help reduce high demand charge rates. The system features a 1.1 MW solar array paired with a 1 MWh vanadium flow battery. A software package detects when power usage rises above a set threshold, activating the batteries to supply energy during the peak period. The stored solar power reduces the demand charges the university incurs from its electric utility, Alliant Energy.18
In February 2019, Ice Energy and Southern California Edison (SCE) completed the installation of 100 thermal cooling systems at C&I customer sites; this is the first phase of a project expected to grow to more than 1,200 systems over the next two years. At completion, the project is expected to provide a total of 21.6 MW and an estimated 130 MWh of storage.19

United Power, a cooperative utility in Brighton, Colorado, worked with SoCore Energy to install two lithium-ion Tesla PowerPack systems in 2018 for a total of 4.5 MW, 18 MWh of storage. The battery storage systems are utilized four or five times a month by the cooperative to shave peak demand. United Power estimates that the battery storage will save the cooperative and its members $1 million annually by lowering capacity charges from its generation and transmission supplier. The cooperative has a plan in place to also utilize the project as a “community battery,” with commercial customers invited to purchase shares of the energy storage to offset the demand component of their utility bills. 20
New rate designs and other incentives could increase the economic value of C&I-sited energy storage. Currently, energy storage can be bid into three wholesale markets; specifically CAISO, MISO, and SPP to provide ancillary services. With the proper rate design, storage could provide a range of services on the distribution grid, including absorbing the intermittent excess flow of power from renewables.17

Energy Storage Policy UpdateNet Metering and Energy StorageAs a growing number of customers consider pairing behind-the-meter solar facilities with battery storage, policymakers and regulators are considering the terms under which solar-plus-storage customers may participate in net metering.
n Arkansas: S.B. 145, enacted in March 2019, allows net metering facilities to include energy storage devices if they are configured to receive electricity solely from the net metering facility. n California: The California Public Utilities Commission issued a decision in January 2019, authorizing the use of power control-based options for net metering with DC-coupled energy storage facilities. nMassachusetts: The Department of Public Utilities issued an order in February 2019, authorizing solar-plus-storage systems to net meter under three configurations: (1) the storage system charges only from the net metering facility and cannot export, (2) the storage system charges only from the net metering facility and can export, and (3) the storage system charges from either the grid or the net metering facility and cannot export. nNew York: In December 2018, the New York Public Service Commission approved a modified version of the value of distributed energy resources tariff (“Hybrid Tariff”) for compensation of distributed energy systems that include battery storage. The tariff includes four options based on how the storage system is being used and only provides environmental credit value for grid injections of renewable energy.
n South Carolina: Lawmakers enacted H.B. 3659 in May 2019, which allows projects including energy storage to net meter if the storage device is charged solely from an on-site renewable resource.
In January 2019, the New Hampshire Public Utilities Commission approved a unique pilot program proposed by Liberty Utilities, in which the utility will own battery storage systems located on residential customer premises. Regulators approved a settlement agreement, which:
n Reduces the size of the program from 1,000 batteries to 500 batteries. n Directs a working group to develop a “Bring Your Own Device” program for 500 additional batteries to be deployed by third parties. n Allows participants that are also net metering customers to charge their batteries from the grid when they are under the utility’s control and receive credit for all energy exported to the grid, including that from the batteries. n Approves time-of-use rate for participants, including critical peak, on-peak, and off-peak periods.

Clean Peak StandardsA relatively new policy mechanism - the “clean peak standard” - is under consideration in multiple states across the country. A clean peak standard requires that a specified portion of a utility’s peak demand is supplied with clean energy resources.
Massachusetts became the first state to adopt a Clean Peak Standard with Chapter 227 of the Acts of 2018. The Department of Energy Resources (DOER) is currently developing rules to implement the standard and presented a straw proposal in early April 2019. The proposal includes:
n Four types of eligible resources: 1. New Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) Class I resources, 2. Existing RPS Class I or II resources that are paired with energy storage systems, 3. Standalone energy storage systems and incremental pumped storage capacity, 4. Demand response resources.
n Four hours per day for each season as designated seasonal peak periods, with Clean Peak Certificates being generated according to the average output of the resource over the duration of the day’s seasonal peak period. nMultipliers based on season, actual monthly system peak, resilience, minimum load (negative multiplier), and distribution circuit locational value.

Globally, solar and wind generation reached 1 terrawatt (TW) of deployment in the first half of 2018, representing an estimated $2.3 trillion in capital expenditure. The second TW of deployment is projected to be completed by 2023 and cost $1.23 trillion, 46% less than the first TW.30 The pace of renewable generation deployment is expected to increase as renewable technologies improve, costs continue to decline, and aggressive policy actions aimed at achieving global climate goals are implemented.31
Aligning intermittent electricity generation with demand as renewable energy penetration grows will require new approaches to operating the grid and alternative grid resources. Utility system planners are searching for these new approaches via non-traditional resources such as flexible solar,32 demand response resources, and new grid assets like energy storage.
Energy Storage TechnologiesThere exist a plethora of energy storage technologies today, many of which are in the early stages of commercialization. The capabilities, cost and use cases of these electricity storage technologies are highly variable, and most storage technologies are able to integrate with other grid resources. As renewables reach high penetration, a suite of energy storage technologies will be needed to serve the grid safely and economically. Many are displayed in Figure 25.
Lithium-Ion Battery Storage Lithium-ion batteries account for roughly 90% of the stationary storage deployed today due to significant declines in lithium-ion battery prices (see Figure 24) and characteristics such as ~90% round trip efficiency.33 The business case for certain lithium-ion battery storage applications has become more attractive as the price of lithium-ion storage assets has declined by 72.9% since 2013.

Technology Lock-In The energy storage industry has been quick to adopt lithium-ion technology, and it has accelerated deployment by providing a reliable and efficient technology. Lithium-ion as the dominant technology could present a risk of “technology lock-in” if storage providers focus solely on this technology to the exclusion of others. Meeting the carbon reduction and renewable energy targets set by governments and organizations around the world requires energy storage as a key element. The need for long-duration storage will likely require capabilities beyond what lithium-ion battery technology can provide. Continued research into other storage technologies will help ensure that storage solutions can match the needs of the changing grid.
Beyond Lithium-Ion Experts believe that flow batteries have the potential capability to meet the utility-scale energy storage requirements of the future. Flow batteries can rapidly recharge, are able to deliver consistent performance over thousands of life cycles, and are able to efficiently scale to many grid-scale sizes.34 35

Zinc-air (ZnAir) batteries will also likely play a role going forward as they represent a technology that has a higher average discharge duration to installed cost compared to lithium-ion or flow batteries. As we look to storage technologies for longer durations, compressed air energy storage (CAES) and gravitational storage are increasingly becoming viable options for peak shaving, non-wire alternatives, and renewable energy integration. CAES heats pressurized air that expands to spin a turbine thereby generating power, while gravitational storage uses energy to raise a large mass and gravity to lower it to generate electricity.

Most energy storage systems connected to the grid provide essential grid services such as frequency regulation, renewable energy integration and other ancillary services. However, these systems are not designed to discharge energy continuously for more than 8 to 12 hours and thus cannot support the base load generation needed to transition to a carbon-free generation future. The U.S. has more than 265 GWhs of long-duration energy storage capacity deployed, predominantly pumped hydropower facilities.36 These pumped hydropower projects require long construction times, face backlash over environmental impact, and are dependant on the availability of specific geologic formations. The growth of long-duration energy storage technologies other than pumped hydropower is required to meet the carbon reduction and renewable energy goals many experts believe necessary to address climate change.
In May 2018, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced a $30 million grant for an Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) program to fund projects for the Duration Addition to electricitY Storage (DAYS) project group. The DAYS program focuses on the research and development of long-duration energy storage technologies capable of providing between 10 and 100 continuous hours of electricity supply.37 The ten DAYS projects include technologies such as thermal energy storage, geomechanical pumped storage and a sulfur-manganese flow battery.38
