Location: Chicago Ballroom 8-9, Level 4 / Ballroom Level
In many states, the success of the clean energy transition hinges on the near term deployment of battery storage at all market levels, from residential to utility-scale. Getting policy buy-in from state legislatures, regulators, and utilities on storage programs and procurements is essential. This panel will explore the Midwestern states on the leading edge of storage deployment, including Michigan, which already has a utility-scale storage procurement target in statute, and Illinois, which is considering how storage participating in VPPs at the distribution level can help reduce peak load. Other Midwestern states may not be far behind, so what are the key storage policy considerations to hone in on as the Midwest seeks to accelerate storage deployment and make meaningful progress towards a clean energy transition?
