New Energy and Energy Storage Strategic Planning

Department of Energy (DOE) today released its draft Energy Storage Strategy and Roadmap (SRM), a plan that provides strategic direction and identifies key opportunities to optimize DOE's investment in future planning of energy storage research, development . . – The U. This SRM outlines activities that implement the strategic objectives facilitating safe, beneficial and timely storage deployment;. . We expect 63 gigawatts (GW) of new utility-scale electric-generating capacity to be added to the U. power grid in 2025 in our latest Preliminary Monthly Electric Generator Inventory report. This amount represents an almost 30% increase from 2024 when 48. In response, the strategic approach known as Integrated Resource Planning (IRP) has emerged as a powerful framework that utilities and energy planners can use to balance supply and. . Why is energy storage so important? 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. The development of battery technologies, hydrogen storage, pumped hydro storage, and emerging technologies like sodium-ion and metal-air batteries is discussed for. .
