House Representative Michael M. Honda (D-CA) introduced the "Energy Storage for Grid Resilience and Modernization Act of 2016" (H.R. 5350) (the "Energy Storage Act"), which would, among other things, amend the Internal Revenue Code to provide energy investment credits for energy storage properties connected to the grid.

The Energy Storage Act would define the term "qualified energy storage property" as property that is capable of (i) absorbing energy, (ii) storing such energy for a period of time and, thereafter, (iii) dispatching such energy for certain purposes. The Energy Storage Act would, among other actions, establish the conditions for allocation as a qualified energy storage company, which allocation would be conducted by the Secretary of the Treasury in consultation with the Secretary of Energy.
