Bill > S2310

This bill requires the Secretary of Energy to conduct a study on the codes and standards for the use of energy storage systems across different sectors, including stationary, mobile, and systems that move between the two. The study aims to identify barriers, foster collaboration, and increase conformity in the use of emerging energy storage technologies and use cases, such as vehicle-to-grid integration. The bill also requires the Secretary to demonstrate second-life applications of electric vehicle batteries as aggregated energy storage installations to provide services to the electric grid, with the goal of demonstrating power safety, reliability, and the ability of these batteries to provide ancillary services and reduce peak loads. The Secretary is directed to prioritize projects that demonstrate second-life applications paired with facilities that could particularly benefit from increased resiliency and lower energy costs, such as multi-family affordable housing, senior care facilities, and community health centers.
