Storage / BESS Posture
- • Mixed fleet preparation matters more than one fixed archetype.
- • Storage should be framed as a control and reserve asset first.
secondary CEB role
In PJM / Pennsylvania, Community Energy Bank is secondary for some enterprise fleets but central for community and shared-storage structures.
- • Community deployments can use CEB as an allocation and assurance layer.
- • Enterprise fleets may start without CEB and add it later for portfolio logic.
Regional Adapter Framing
- • Use readiness and staged participation language consistently.
- • Do not claim broad current market operation.
Pilot Archetypes
- • Enterprise fleet-preparation pilot
- • Community battery readiness pilot
- • Aggregator-adjacent telemetry pilot
