Tendering authorities and private companies release thousands of contracts worth millions for procurement of energy storage. Global Tenders stands out as the largest platform dedicated to tenders and government contracts.

Are high soft costs a barrier to energy storage deployment?

In 2018, the New York Public Service Commission (NY PSC) identified high soft costs as a major barrier for energy storage deployment in their state. The CPUC Energy Storage Procurement Study aims to address similar challenges in California.

How can energy storage benefit a grid?

Energy storage can provide significant value to a grid by helping with frequency regulation. Today's energy storage technologies are very flexible and can shift bulk energy from periods with low marginal emissions (e.g. midday) towards periods with high marginal emissions (e.g. evening peak).
