The document proposes to make and revise more than 100 key standards for new energy storage in 2023, accelerate the making and revision of design specifications, safety regulations, construction and acceptance and other standards for energy storage power plants, carry out pre-research on safety standards for energy storage power plants, emergency management, fire protection and other standards, establish and improve the safety standard system as soon as possible, combine with the construction needs of new power systems, and initially form a new energy storage standard system, which can basically support the new energy storage Industry commercialization development.

This SRM does not address new policy actions, nor does it specify budgets and resources for future activities. This Energy Storage SRM responds to the Energy Storage Strategic Plan periodic update requirement of the Better Energy Storage Technology (BEST) section of the Energy Policy Act of 2020 (42 U.S.C. § 17232 (b) (5)).
Approximately 16 states have adopted some form of energy storage policy, which broadly fall into the following categories: procurement targets, regulatory adaption, demonstration programs, financial incentives, and consumer protections. Below we give an overview of each of these energy storage policy categories.
All of the states with a storage policy in place have a renewable portfolio standard or a nonbinding renewable energy goal. Regulatory changes can broaden competitive access to storage such as by updating resource planning requirements or permitting storage through rate proceedings.
Virginia’s target was enacted by law in 2020, which set a 3,100 MW energy storage goal by 2035. A law enacted in 2021 directed the Illinois Commerce Commission to establish storage procurement targets for all utilities serving more than 200,000 customers to achieve by 2032.
The underlying motivation for DOE’s strategic investment in energy storage is to ensure that the American people will have access to energy storage innovations that enable resilient, flexible, affordable, and secure energy systems and supply, for everyone, everywhere.
Storage can play a significant role in achieving these goals by serving as a “non-wires alternative” that can provide added reliability and grid services as renewable resources such as wind and solar replace fossil fuel baseload resources.

The latest advances of laser-induced graphene (LIG) in energy storage devices are fully discussed. The preparation and excellent properties of LIG applied in different devices are reviewed. The research methods of further modification of LIG properties are summarized.
In this review, we highlight the recent advances of LIG in energy materials, covering the fabrication methods, performance enhancement strategies, and device integration of LIG-based electrodes and devices in the area of hydrogen evolution reaction, oxygen evolution reaction, oxygen reduction reaction, zinc-air batteries, and supercapacitors.
In summary, LIG materials have unique advantages as energy storage material that will be actively developed and commercialized in the long term.
