The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has announced the release of its draft Energy Storage Strategy and Roadmap (SRM), and update to the Energy Storage Grand Challenge Roadmap (December 2020). This draft Energy Storage SRM updates the ESGC 2020 Roadmap (the original energy storage strategic plan) in consideration of the progress made across the energy storage sector since 2020, as well as to reflect DOE’s recent activities in support of its energy storage mission and vision.
The draft Energy Storage SRM represents a significantly expanded strategic revision on the original ESGC 2020 Roadmap. This SRM outlines actions that implement the strategic objectives facilitating safe, beneficial and timely storage deployment; empower decisionmakers by providing data-driven information analysis; and leverage the country’s global leadership to advance durable engagement throughout the innovation ecosystem.
DOE is currently updating the draft SRM to ensure consistency with the current Administration’s executive orders and agency directives. DOE, at its discretion, anticipates reposting the draft SRM for public comment at a future time; notice of its availability will be provided through the Federal Register.
