For the past 11 years, Massachusetts has been working to encourage the development of large-scale batteries, beginning with the launch of the Energy Storage Initiative in 2015 under then-Gov. Charlie Baker (R). The state blew past its initial target of installing 1 GW of storage capacity by 2025, topping 1.6 GW.
Progress has only accelerated since then, thanks to a trio of state policies making it easier and more profitable to locate batteries in the state.
