Utility Dive quoted Jennifer Key in an article titled “State-Federal Concerns Could Dim FERC’s Landmark Storage Order.” The article, published April 17, discusses how the promise of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s (FERC) Order 841 as a vehicle to accelerate the growth of energy storage could be dimmed or at least slowed down by pushback from state interests. According to the article, trade group Edison Electric Institute is seeking a rehearing of Order 841 and would like to see a framework that would allow state regulatory agencies to opt out of allowing “distribution-connected resources from participating in the wholesale market.”
Key says, “I would expect that the energy storage industry would challenge an opt-out, if FERC were to go that route.”
