Energy Storage Procurement Target

This is a utility-level requirement, not a rebate or incentive you apply for, so there is nothing to sign up for directly. It aims to bring 1,000 MW of energy storage to Nevada by 2030, which can support a more reliable grid. For questions about storage options for your home, contact the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada or your electric utility.

This is a procurement target for investor-owned utilities, not a customer incentive, so it creates no direct rebate or enrollment requirements for homeowner projects. The opportunity lies in utility-scale lithium-ion storage projects needed to reach 1,000 MW statewide by 2030. Check with the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada and the utilities for how storage is procured and which requirements apply.

S.B. 204 (May 2017) directed the PUCN to decide whether storage procurement targets served the public interest; the PUCN found they did in December 2018 and adopted formal targets in March 2020. The target is 1,000 MW deployed in Nevada by 2030, with interim milestones of 100 MW by end of 2020, 200 MW by 2022, 400 MW by 2024, 600 MW by 2026, and 800 MW by 2028. It applies to investor-owned utilities and covers lithium-ion storage.
