Ten Years After Visionary Renewable Electricity Futures Study Showed an 80% Renewable U.S. Grid Was Possible, NREL Experts Recount How They
. By adding new storage capabilities to ReEDS, NREL studied how much value storage could provide to the grid and behind the meter, how much could be economically deployed, and how high storage levels might impact power system operations.
Study results revealed energy storage could not only help the future grid operate more efficiently by meeting peak demand but also increase the use of new and existing transmission lines. At the same time, it could offset the need to build new polluting power plants. As of December 2020, more than 260 large corporations and 200 cities and counties in the United States pledged to meet 100% of their electricity needs with renewables over the coming decades — including Los Angeles, whose city council announced in 2016 a goal of 100% clean energy by 2045.
Results showed LA’s goal is achievable as soon as 2035 with rapid deployment of wind, solar, and storage technologies this decade — showing it is possible to go even further than RE Futures’ then-visionary 80% target. And the same methodology from LA100 can be used for more cities seeking insights on the road to clean and equitable energy futures.
The LA100 study results revealed that while all communities in Los Angeles will share in the benefits of the clean energy transition,requires intentionally designed policies and programs.
