"As more batteries join the electric grid, many exciting applications are possible. Several virtual power plant (VPP) type programs were recently established on both coasts, which enable homes and businesses to leverage their profitable battery systems to offer essential services that keep the grid stable.

Utilities continue to push the envelope with increasingly sophisticated rate structures that more accurately reflect their costs and environmental impacts of delivering power in real-time. Customers increasingly need energy storage to keep electric bills under control. And as climate change leads to more extreme weather and related outages, backup and resilience only grows in value and importance. The cycle continues to accelerate and reinforce itself along the way."

With the inclusion of battery energy storage into new building codes and safety standards, it’s obvious just how mainstream storage is today.

Oil prices have fallen so much that Exxon reported its first quarterly loss since 1988 and announced that it will shut down 75% of its oil rigs in the Permian Basin (Texas). Likewise, oil drillers are shutting down in the Bakken shale region (North Dakota) – the active rig count has fallen from 62 rigs a year ago to 22 rigs today. Suncor is shutting down some of its oil sands production in northern Alberta because of very low market prices for bitumen. COVID-19 and the related economic downturn have clobbered demand.
