Fig. 6: Impact of long-duration energy storage mandates on the marginal price of electricity.

The total (a), regional (b), hourly (c), and monthly (d) distributions in the mean marginal electricity prices as the amount of mandated long-duration energy storage (in TWh) increases. Increases up to 20 TWh significantly decrease the variability in marginal prices while increases beyond 20 TWh have a lesser effect. Distributions stem from the marginal price of electricity in each load zone and at each timepoint (n = 109, 200).
