Bill > S2325

This bill directs the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (MassCEC) to conduct a comprehensive study on battery storage technology with the goal of identifying innovative battery technologies that can enhance electrical grid performance. Specifically, the study will focus on battery solutions that can improve grid capacity, reliability, and efficiency, and provide a more cost-effective way to manage electricity demand fluctuations. To ensure a thorough and well-informed study, MassCEC is required to consult with battery storage product developers, Massachusetts-based higher education institutions conducting relevant research, and utility companies serving Massachusetts consumers. The center must complete the study and submit a report to the state legislature within 12 months of the bill's passage, including the study's findings and any recommendations for potential regulatory or legislative actions to support grid battery storage innovation.
