Energy Storage Value and Adoption Analysis
Notes:
Evaluation of Key Value Drivers
Transmission & Distribution Investment Deferral
Findings
We identify a small number of high-value opportunities to defer
specific T&D investments.

Points reflect individual projects from NV Energy's 2018 transmission and distribution capital expenditure outlook identified as deferrable
by storage. Although NV Energy's outlook is over a 10-year span, we annualize the size and value of opportunities. We order projects by
$/kW-year value, and plot to estimate the marginal benefit for storage from T&D investment deferral. Values in nominal dollars.
