More and more states are ramping up their energy storage target numbers. Connecticut recently joined the list with its commitment to deploying 1,000 MW of energy storage by 2030. Other states include New York with 6 GW of storage by 2030, Maine with 400 MW by 2030 and Virginia with a 3,100 MW mandate by 2035. Additional states toying with supportive policies are Illinois and Vermont. However, the unique role of storage on the grid sometimes makes developing these policies tricky.
