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.
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. The total resource is up from 770 MW four years ago and double the amount installed just two years ago.
Increased deployment of behind-the-meter (BTM) energy storage reduces system peak. Standardized storage permitting procedures can reduce the soft costs of energy storage systems and reduce schedule delays. Permitting systems can ensure power lines are safely de-energized and not backfeeding to the grid.
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.
Interested parties are invited to comment and suggest best practices. Increased deployment of behind-the-meter (BTM) energy storage reduces system peak. Standardized storage permitting procedures can reduce the soft costs of energy storage systems and reduce schedule delays.
