What is the energy storage demonstration and pilot grant program?

The Energy Storage Demonstration and Pilot Grant Program is designed to enter into agreements to carry out 3 energy storage system demonstration projects. Technology Developers, Industry, State and Local Governments, Tribal Organizations, Community Based Organizations, National Laboratories, Universities, and Utilities.

Is energy storage an MP funded project?

In the 2019 MISO Transmission Expansion Plan (MTEP), only one of the total 480 projects approved was MP funded at a total cost of $9 million out of approximately $4 billion total project costs approved. 10 For energy storage to qualify as an MP funded project, an MP must come forward with a project.

Does energy storage qualify as an “other”?

For energy storage to qualify as an “other,” transmission planning engineers must find energy storage as a solution for reliability, age and condition, load growth, and local planning criteria need in the planning models. RTOs do not own generation, transmission, or distribution assets.

Does energy storage qualify as an MEP?

For energy storage to qualify as an MEP, transmission planning engineers must find energy storage as a solution for reducing historical transmission congestion. Multi-value projects (MVPs) are the “crown jewels” of MISO.

What is the energy storage Grand Challenge?

Energy Storage Grand Challenge: Increasing America’s global leadership in energy storage through a DOE-wide effort led by OE and EERE to develop, commercialize, and use next-generation technologies.

Does energy storage qualify as a GIP?

For energy storage to qualify as a GIP, transmission planning engineers must find energy storage as a solution for reliability needs in the planning models that study generator injections. To access the transmission system in an RTO, any external market resource should place a TSR.
