全国水电协会（National Hydropower Association（NHA））和通过大容量储能推动新能源发展联盟（Coalition to Advance Renewable Energy through Bulk Storage（CAREBS））针对“清洁能源联合原则“发布联合声明，声明如下：
CAREBS和NHA对美国风风能协会（AWEA）和电力储存协会（ESA）在6月8日的“清洁能源联合原则”中认同储能在电力生产以及传输过程中的价值这一行为表示赞扬。储能和可再生能源社区的合作将有助于确保更一致和协调的政策方向，提高电网的可靠性，并且为美国人提供更多的清洁能源方面的工作。
鉴于可变能源资源的增长以及对电网的灵活性的更大需求，CAREBS和NHA表明：
支持能阐明电网服务，特别是由储能提供的辅助服务的全部价值的管理框架；
支持美国联邦能源管理委员会为建立这些市场结构做出的努力；
支持在国会倡议制定能对储能价值，特别是大容量储能的价值有适当认识的政策。
The following is a joint statement of the National Hydropower Association and the Coalition to Advance Renewable Energy through Bulk Storage on the "Joint Principles for Clean Energy":
The Coalition to Advance Renewable Energy through Bulk Storage (CAREBS) and the National Hydropower Association (NHA) applaud the recognition of the valuable role of energy storage in electricity production and delivery, contained in the “Joint Principles for Clean Energy” issued by the American Wind Energy Association and the Electricity Storage Association on June 8. Cooperation between the storage and renewable energy communities will help ensure more consistent and coordinated policy direction, greater grid reliability, and more clean energy jobs for Americans.
Given the growth of variable energy resources and the need for greater grid flexibility, CAREBS and NHA support regulatory frameworks and operating regimes which illuminate the full value of grid services, especially ancillary services, provided by energy storage, and we support the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s efforts to create those market structures. We also support initiatives in Congress to enact policies that appropriately recognize the value of energy storage, particularly bulk storage.
Decades of grid operation experience have shown that bulk energy storage makes all forms of energy -- particularly clean and renewable energy -- more efficient and reliable. Large-scale storage systems, already familiar to grid operators and utilities, which are commercially proven, financeable, and introduce the least technological risk, will bring more clean energy to more people more of the time at the lowest overall cost.
CAREBS and NHA look forward to working together with all industry stakeholders to further develop long term solutions that enable the growth of our domestic energy supply and assure the future reliability of our nation’s grid.
