The ‘Energy Storage Market Reform Roadmap’ looks to the examples of the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) and the California Independent System Operator (CAISO). During the summer of 2024, Texas saw a historic electricity demand, and energy storage resources saved residents more than US$700 million while keeping the power on.

The American Clean Power Association (ACP) has published a report advocating for energy storage market reforms aimed at regional grid operators, specifically targeting PJM, MISO, and NYISO. The report, developed with insights from the Brattle Group, emphasizes the importance of updating market rules to better accommodate energy storage, drawing on successful examples from ERCOT and CAISO. The findings highlight how energy storage has significantly contributed to grid reliability and economic savings, particularly during peak demand periods.

For PJM, the report suggests reforms such as 'opportunity cost bidding' to enhance market efficiency and reliability. MISO is encouraged to adopt probabilistic analyses for its load methodologies to better reflect energy storage contributions, while NYISO is advised to implement 'Day Ahead Uncertainty' and 'Ramp & Uncertainty' products to improve responsiveness to demand fluctuations. Overall, the report underscores the need for modernized market structures to fully leverage the benefits of energy storage across these regions.
