Commercial vs. Residential Battery Incentives
To date, state-level performance incentives for storage have typically been added to solar incentives. Perhaps the best-known state-level storage incentive in the US is California's Self-Generation Incentive Program (SGIP). SGIP provides a dollar per kilowatt ($/kW) rebate for the energy storage installed.
• At the time of this report, average residential/small commercial energy storage incentive rates for the state programs examined ranged from $350/kWh to $1,333.33/kWh, with a mean rate of $805/kWh. • State policymakers should consider combined up-front and performance-based incentives.
At the federal level, an extension of the incentive tax credit (ITC) available to solar developments can now be applied to energy storage systems that are charged by at least 75% renewable energy. However, the full value of the ITC is for projects wholly charged by a renewable resource and is not available for standalone energy storage projects.
In addition, there are other types of energy storage incentives that have been tried. For example, storage may be added to existing renewable programs, such as solar incentive programs, or be made eligible for market-based programs such as utility renewable portfolio standards (RPS).
While storage fared better than solar and wind, homeowners interested in residential batteries face dwindling opportunities. A solid-state battery co-created by the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and Ampcera, Inc. Image: Andrea Sarr, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
