In 2013, the CPUC issued Decision (D.)13-10-040 which set an AB 2514 energy storage procurement target of 1,325 megawatts (MW) by 2020. The CPUC''s energy storage procurement policy was formulated with three primary goals: Greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions in support of the State''s targets. Assembly Bill 2868 (Gatto, 2016)
The California Energy Commission is leading the state to a 100 percent clean energy future for all. As the state''s primary energy policy and planning agency, the Energy Commission is committed to reducing energy costs and environmental impacts of energy use while ensuring a safe, resilient, and reliable supply of energy.
From 2018 to 2024, battery storage capacity in California increased from 500 megawatts (MW) to more than 10,300 MW, with an additional 3,800 MW planned to come online by the end of 2024. The state projects 52,000 MW of battery storage will be needed by 2045. This dashboard presents statewide data for residential, commercial and utility-scale
CESA Helped CaliforniaRecognize and Increase the Value of Energy Storage: Actively participating in modeling efforts at CPUC to appropriately model and value energy storage, with over 11,000 MW of battery storage identified as being needed through 2030 to achieve the state''s decarbonization goals, up from 2,000 MW as identified in the previous 2017

This project studied the value of long duration energy storage (LDES) to support decarbonization at three geographic levels: (a) meeting Senate Bill 100 (De León, Chapter 312, Statutes of 2018) and statewide electric sector decarbonization planning, (b) providing local capacity and criteria air pollutant reductions in a Los Angeles Basin case
For Immediate Release: December 13, 2023. SACRAMENTO — The California Energy Commission (CEC) today approved a $30 million grant to Form Energy to build a long-duration energy storage project that will continuously discharge to the grid for an unprecedented 100 hours. The 5 megawatt (MW) / 500 megawatt-hour iron-air
Assembly Bill (AB) 2514 (Skinner, Chapter 469, Statutes of 2010), amended by Assembly Bill 2227 (Bradford, Chapter 606, Statutes of 2012), was designed to encourage California to incorporate energy storage into the electricity grid, as codified at Public Utilities Code § 2835-2839 and § 9506. Energy storage can provide a multitude of benefits
As of June 2024, the average storage system cost in California is $1090/kWh.Given a storage system size of 13 kWh, an average storage installation in California ranges in cost from $12,044 to $16,296, with the average gross price for storage in California coming in at $14,170.After accounting for the 30% federal investment tax credit (ITC) and other state
The California Energy Commission is sponsoring development of a California-focused online energy storage permitting guidebook. The goal is to help authorities having jurisdiction and industry officials to develop
While there is a big green energy industry controversy hanging over California at present, with the future of net metering (NEM) for rooftop solar in doubt, the support for energy storage has been welcomed by the Long Duration Energy Storage Association of California trade group. "We applaud Governor Newsom for reconfirming
This comes as Governor Newsom signed the new infrastructure streamlining package to build more clean energy faster. SACRAMENTO – The California Independent System Operator (ISO) announced that the grid has reached 5,600 megawatts (MW) of battery storage capacity online and fully integrated, a major milestone towards
The Long Duration Energy Storage program will pave the way for opportunities to foster a diverse portfolio of energy storage technologies that will contribute to a safe and reliable future grid. This program plays an important role in achieving California''s zero carbon goals. As California is accelerating the deployment of
Energy storage can play an important role in this balancing act of matching supply and demand and help to create a more flexible and reliable grid system. As California procures increasing amounts of renewable energy to reach its SB 100 goal of 100% GHG-free electricity by 2045, the state will need significant deployment of energy storage.
California is the Place to Be. California is the leading energy storage market by the numbers. CESA supports members with a unified voice to shape the market and the network to complete in this fast-moving
