The country was the first to hold government-backed auctions for hybrid projects, with solar-plus-storage having swept more than 1GW of the awarded capacity.
The 2020 Cost and Performance Assessment provided installed costs for six energy storage technologies: lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, lead-acid batteries, vanadium redox flow batteries, pumped storage hydro, compressed-air energy storage, and hydrogen energy storage.
Batteries received $17.9 million of real-time bid cost recovery payments in 2024, representing 11 percent of total bid cost recovery to generators. In comparison, battery resources received 10 percent of all bid cost recovery paid to resources in the CAISO balancing area in 2023.
At $17.9 million, real-time bid cost recovery payments to batteries represented 11 percent of all bid cost recovery payments in 2024. In comparison, batteries received nearly $28 million of real-time bid cost recovery in 2023, representing 10 percent of total bid cost recovery payments.
Additional storage technologies will be added as representative cost and performance metrics are verified. The interactive figure below presents results on the total installed ESS cost ranges by technology, year, power capacity (MW), and duration (hr).
As of December 2024, there are 35 actively participating hybrid resources with battery technology in the CAISO and the WEIM. Figure 2.22 shows average hourly real-time (15-minute market) schedules of all active hybrid resources in 2024.
In 2024, 96 percent of registered hybrids participated as NGRs. However, only around 40 percent of these resources had the operational capabilities which would make them eligible to charge from the grid. In 2024, hybrids received very few market awards to charge from the grid and mostly charged from on-site renewables.
