For Immediate Release: October 24, 2023 SACRAMENTO — New data show California is surging forward with the buildout of battery energy storage systems with more than 6,600 megawatts (MW) online, enough electricity to power 6.6 million homes for up to four hours.
California is a world leader in energy storage with the largest fleet of batteries that store energy for the electricity grid. Energy storage is an important tool to support grid reliability and complement the state’s abundant renewable energy resources.
A battery energy storage system (BESS) is a type of energy infrastructure that plays a critical role to support the function of the California electrical grid. Many large-scale BESS projects are connected to the grid through utilities and can either be paired with an energy generation source, such as solar or wind, or be standalone facilities.
The Public Utilities Code defines an energy storage system as a commercially available technology that absorbs energy, storing it for a specified period, and then dispatches the energy.
From hours-ending 10 to 13, battery charging represented around 8.3 percent of load in the CAISO balancing area in 2023. During these hours, batteries help reduce the need to curtail or export surplus solar energy at very low prices. Batteries provide the majority of the ISO’s regulation up and regulation down requirements.
This rulemaking identified energy storage end uses and barriers to deployment, considered a variety of possible policies to encourage the cost-effective deployment of energy storage systems, including refinement of existing procurement methods to properly value energy storage systems. This rulemaking resulted in two CPUC Decisions, which are:
