A typical energy storage deployment will consist of multiple project phases, including (1) planning (project initiation, development, and design activities), (2) procurement, (3) construction, (4) acceptance testing (i.e., commissioning), (5) operations and maintenance, and (6) decommissioning.
Since the publication of the first Energy Storage Safety Strategic Plan in 2014, there have been introductions of new technologies, new use cases, and new codes, standards, regulations, and testing methods. Additionally, failures in deployed energy storage systems (ESS) have led to new emergency response best practices.
If a developer wants to install an energy storage project in a jurisdiction that has not defined where storage is allowed, the developer is responsible for identifying a potential site and petitioning the jurisdiction to issue a conditional use permit or rezone the site to enable the project.
