Live Stream Agenda: Tuesday, December 8
8:45 a.m. – 9:00 a.m. PST Welcome
9:00 a.m. – 9:30 a.m. PST GTM Research: The Energy Storage Future
This GTM presentation will share results from the most recent U.S. Energy Storage Monitor report and provide the platform for the day’s discussions on the future of the U.S. energy storage market.
Shayle Kann, Senior Vice President, GTM Research
9:30 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. PST SGIP and Utility Procurement: The Future of Behind-the-Meter Storage in California
California has emerged as the largest behind-the-meter storage market due to renewable energy growth, high electricity prices, state mandates, and the Self-Generation Incentive Program (SGIP). Southern California Edison’s procurement decision of 150 megawatts behind-the-meter storage for its Local Capacity Requirement has been the first at that scale by a utility. This panel will discuss these drivers and look at the future of California’s behind-the-meter storage market.

10:00 a.m. – 10:30 a.m. PST Hawaii: Energy Storage in the High PV Penetration World
On one hand, Hawaiian utilities are struggling with high distributed solar penetration levels (higher than the daily minimum load at some substations), while on the other, interconnection challenges and net-metering uncertainties have disenchanted solar customers. With new legislation aiming to achieve a 100% renewable grid by 2050, these problems are not going away. Distributed energy storage, standalone or paired with solar, appears to offer the much-needed common ground for utilities and end customers. This panel will explore the benefits, opportunities and challenges for Hawaii’s distributed energy storage adoption.

2014 was a landmark year for storage in California. AB 2514 procurement decisions were set in motion, and SCE announced procurement of 100+ MW of front-of-meter storage. Additionally, there were procurement decisions made by other public utilities. Join this panel representing utilities, policymakers and vendors to understand the business and policy choices behind these procurement decisions and look at how future storage procurements could play out.

2:30 p.m. – 3:15 p.m. PST Energy Storage and Fast Regulation Services: Success in PJM and What Are Other Markets Doing?
PJM has been the largest utility-scale energy storage market due to effective adoption of FERC Orders 755 and 784. Concerns for saturation exist in PJM, even if they are muted, while other markets like ERCOT, CAISO, SPP and ISO-NE have only recently initiated market redesign. We will pose the questions to stakeholders in ancillary services markets to understand the history and predict the future of fast regulation in PJM and other markets.

4:15 p.m. – 4:45 p.m. PST Energy Storage for Deferral and Capacity Benefits
Transmission and distribution deferral have been recognized as important storage use cases. Similarly, capacity markets around the country have begun to consider storage (standalone or paired with renewables) as a valuable capacity asset. The concerns and opportunities for storage to provide deferral and capacity benefits are cross-cutting, and include performance, asset longevity, market rules, and cost-benefit analysis. These issues are important for adoption of storage as a technology capable of providing a lot more than just ancillary services.
