18 Months On: The Impact of the IRA on the Energy Storage Industry

Synopsis

The clean energy sector is experiencing a renaissance of domestic investment, thanks to the Investing in America agenda. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) and Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) enable major progress toward making clean energy more accessible and affordable for businesses, investors, and consumers. In the wake of accelerated progress within the U.S. clean energy sector, how is federal policy helping to ensure that we have the energy storage necessary to reach energy goals across the U.S.?

This keynote presentation will address how federal policy is investing in energy storage growth and reliability, including discussing:

• Transformative impacts of IRA and BIL on the energy sector broadly, and electricity specifically, inclusive of deployment and manufacturing
• Provisions in IRA and BIL that can drive storage investments, and results from modeling studies showing those possible impacts
• Key DOE programs and efforts on energy storage
