Energy Storage Enterprise-Enterprise Cooperation Plan

What is the energy storage strategy & roadmap (SRM)?

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. 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, demonstration, and deployment projects.

How does ESMAP support developing countries in deploying energy storage?

ESMAP is supporting developing countries in deploying energy storage through providing access to concessional finance, technical assistance, and addressing key knowledge gaps through an international Energy Storage Partnership (ESP).

Why is energy storage important?

Energy storage allows for the increased use of wind and solar power, which can not only increase access to power in developing countries, but also increase the resilience of energy systems, improve grid reliability, stability, and power quality, essential to promoting the productive uses of energy.

What is the energy storage Grand Challenge (ESGC)?

In January 2020, DOE launched the Energy Storage Grand Challenge (ESGC) to facilitate a department-wide strategy to accelerate the development, commercialization, and use of next-generation energy storage technologies and sustain American global leadership in energy storage.

What is Doe's strategic investment in energy storage?

DOE’s strategic investment in energy storage aims to ensure that all Americans have access to energy storage innovations to enable resilient, reliable, secure, and affordable electricity systems and supplies.

What is the energy storage SRM?

Specifically, the draft Energy Storage SRM updates the earlier ESGC Roadmap in consideration of the progress made across the energy storage sector since 2020, as well as reflects DOE’s recent activities in support of its energy storage mission and vision.
