Storage Study

DOER’s recently released storage study sets a goal for Massachusetts to have 600 MW of electricity storage in operation by 2025. What percentage of peak load in Massachusetts will that meet? Peak load refers to the highest amount of energy used at any one time by the whole State during the year.

10%

{"name":"Storage Study", "url":"https://www.quiz-maker.com/QPREVIEW","txt":"Which source affects more MWh of electricity, the 1% annual increase in the Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) or the annual electricity goals of the 3 Year Energy Efficiency Plan? (Note: each annual goal for 2016, 2017 and 2018 is essentially the same)., In the Massachusetts electric sector, both energy efficiency and renewable electricity sources contribute to reducing use of fossil fuels and greenhouse gas emissions. Since 2002, the state’s Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) has required an annual increase of 1% in the proportion of renewable electricity consumed. The state’s public utilities have set annual efficiency targets in a series of 3 Year Energy Efficiency Plans, the latest of which was released in January, covering 2016, 2017, and 2018., Both the electric efficiency and RPS goals will displace a certain quantity of megawatt hours (MWh) of fossil fuel based electricity generation, and we were curious to about the size of their relative impacts.","img":"https://www.quiz-maker.com/3012/images/ogquiz.png"}
