Get a quoteEnergy storage in particular can be adopted at the local level due to the flexible and scalable nature of the technology. As a result, with the wider adoption of community solar, interest in community energy storage (CES) is growing.
Community energy storage (CES) is emerging as another form of decentralized solution in the changing energy landscape to confront with technoeconomic, environmental, and societal challenges of the present energy systems. Based on current developments, the two dominant options for CES, namely, local and virtual can be identified.
Community energy storage (CES) is one of the recent advanced smart grid technologies that provide distribution grids with lots of benefits in terms of stability, reliability, quality, and control. As it benefits both customers and utilities, this technology has become a crucial element of recent microgrids.
As previously mentioned, most community energy storage projects in the United States are distribution sited and utility owned. The community indirectly benefits from cost-effective investments that reduce system costs. There is also the potential for distribution sited storage systems to improve local reliability and resiliency.
Community storage offers a pathway for tenants to invest in energy systems without the ownership prerequisites. For example, a single storage system could help multiple users manage demand charges or be paired with PV to encourage self-consumption.
Community ownership of assets is one way to deliver a more equitable distribution of benefits and control in the energy sector. Energy storage in particular can be adopted at the local level due to the flexible and scalable nature of the technology.
The global industrial and commercial energy storage market is experiencing unprecedented growth, with demand increasing by over 350% in the past three years. Energy storage cabinets and lithium battery solutions now account for approximately 40% of all new commercial energy installations worldwide. North America leads with a 38% market share, driven by corporate sustainability goals and federal investment tax credits that reduce total system costs by 25-30%.
