An Act relative to grid battery storage innovation study

This bill directs the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center to conduct a one-year study on battery storage technologies for electrical grids. The study will evaluate how these technologies can improve grid reliability, capacity, and cost-effective responses to electricity demand fluctuations. The Center must consult with battery storage developers, universities, and Massachusetts utilities during the study. Results and any policy recommendations must be submitted to the state legislature within 12 months of the bill's passage.
