AI Summary
This bill aims to advance energy storage in Massachusetts by requiring the Department of Energy Resources to establish statewide energy storage deployment targets. The bill sets a target of 1,766 MW of cost-effective energy storage to be achieved by January 1, 2025, and requires the department to set a subsequent target for 2030. The bill also allows the department to consider various policies to encourage the cost-effective deployment of energy storage systems, such as refining procurement methods, using alternative compliance payments, and utilizing energy efficiency funds. Load-serving entities are required to submit reports demonstrating compliance with the energy storage procurement targets, and the department may establish alternative compliance payments for failure to meet the targets.
