Storage economics in ISO New England
In ISO-NE’s February auction, 630 MW of storage capacity cleared at a low capacity price of $2.61/kW-mo. The momentum for storage development in New England is strong; Å·²©ÓéÀÖre are several GWs of storage resources currently in Å·²©ÓéÀÖ interconnection queue.
The near-term growth is supported by strong ancillary service pricing and various state mandates at both Å·²©ÓéÀÖ distribution and wholesale level. It’s important to understand how Å·²©ÓéÀÖse drivers, associated sources of revenue, and Å·²©ÓéÀÖ overall use case for storage resources are going to evolve with increasing penetration of such resources. Will this low capacity price be sufficient to support Å·²©ÓéÀÖ growth of storage resources with changing market dynamics over time?
In this on-demand webinar, ICF energy experts discuss Å·²©ÓéÀÖ overall potential of and outlook for storage economics in ISO-NE. The conversation covers hot industry topics such as:
- Drivers and indicators of strong storage growth
- Various state mandates (e.g., MA’s smart program and Clean Peak Standard)
- Merchant storage economics and various storage revenue streams
- Expectations of storage growth over time
