Section 3201(c) of the Energy Act of 2020 ( 42 U.S.C. 17232(c) ) is amended— in paragraph (1)— by striking the period at the end and inserting ; and ; by striking including at and inserting the following: “including— at ; and by adding at the end the following: 1 project to demonstrate second-life applications of electric vehicle batteries as aggregated energy storage installations to provide services to the electric grid, in accordance with paragraph (3). ; by redesignating paragraphs
(3)and
(4)as paragraphs
(4)and (5), respectively; and by inserting after paragraph
(2)the following: The Secretary shall enter into an agreement to carry out a project to demonstrate second-life applications of electric vehicle batteries as aggregated energy storage installations to provide services to the electric grid. The purposes of the project under subparagraph
(A)shall be— to demonstrate power safety and the reliability of the applications demonstrated under the program; to demonstrate the ability of electric vehicle batteries— to provide ancillary services for grid stability and management; and to reduce the peak loads of homes and businesses; to extend the useful life of electric vehicle batteries and the components of electric vehicle batteries prior to the collection, recycling, and reprocessing of the batteries and components; and to increase acceptance of, and participation in, the use of second-life applications of electric vehicle batteries by utilities. In selecting a project to carry out under subparagraph (A), the Secretary shall give priority to projects in which the demonstration of the applicable second-life applications is paired with 1 or more facilities that could particularly benefit from increased resiliency and lower energy costs, such as a multi-family affordable housing facility, a senior care facility, and a community health center. .
