Seeking energy equity through energy storage

Numerous states have adopted legislation and policy measures aimed at achieving greater equity across essential energy services on which underserved communities rely to meet basic needs. Equity is highlighted in the Biden-Harris January 2021 Executive Order No. 13,985, “Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities” (Exec. Order (2021)). When applied to the energy & utilities sector, ”energy equity” refers to the condition in which energy is provided to all in a consistent and systematically fair, just, and impartial manner regardless of race, geography, social standing, or economic position.
