This bill amends the United States Storage Competitiveness Act of 2007 to require the establishment of new goals for the Department of Energy relating to energy storage and to carry out energy storage demonstration projects. The goals to be established will create a partnership between the DOE, national laboratories, traditional end-users such as electric utilities, and potential end-users such as new energy storage systems. The demonstration projects to be carried out will be designed to improve grid-scale energy storage technologies so that they can be used commercially and remain cost-effective and efficient.
This bill addresses Green New Deal goal 2(D)p.8 to upgrade power grids.
This bill addresses Green Real Deal goal 2(D)p.5 to modernize electric grids.
