  1. California Energy Storage Policies Carla Peterman Commissioner, California Public Utilities Commission February 2017

  2. California Storage Law and Policy • Assembly Bill 2514 (Skinner), signed into law in 2010, required the CPUC to consider whether to set procurement targets for electric storage by October 2013

  3. California Storage Target Development • Guiding Principles • Use cases identified where benefits outweighed costs • Procurement framework and biennial targets adopted

  4. Procurement Targets • ESPs/CCAs must procure 1 percent of their annual peak load by 2020.

  5. Procurement Process • Allows for different ownership models, end uses, and technologies • Transmission and distribution storage must be procured via a competitive RFO • Utilities may own up to 50 percent of storage across Transmission, Distribution and Customer grid domains • Utilities may shift up to 80 percent of MW between Transmission and Distribution grid domains and 85 MW of customer storage to T&D

  6. Cost Containment • Utilities include a cost-effectiveness analysis of all bids received in RFOs • Utilities may defer up to 80 percent of MW to later periods with a showing of unreasonableness of cost or lack of operational viability • Ongoing evaluation and analysis of progress, with opportunity for mid-course corrections, as needed

  7. Storage Procurement (1/3) • 2014 RFO • PUC approved 87.3 MW of procurement (SCE-16.3MW, PG&E 71MW) • SDG&E used 2014 All Source RFO for compliance • IOUs were also able to use previously approved projects to meet target • Transmission and distribution connected • Mix of technologies including lithium ion batteries, zinc air batteries, flywheels

  8. Storage Procurement (2/3) • 2016 Procurement Plan • 219.3MW Authorized for SCE and PG&E • TX (65MW), distribution (63.5MW), and customer side (10.8 MW) – third party and utility owned • Load following, ancillary services, substation deferrals, bill management, permanent load shifting • No SDG&E plan since planning to fulfill all procurement through their 2016 LCR

  9. Storage Procurement (3/3) • 2013 Southern California Edison preferred resources RFO • 63 contracts executed; 23 energy storage • 50 MW storage min- 264.14MW procured (100 MW BTM) • Lithium-ion batteries, thermal storage • 2016 Aliso Canyon expedited procurement • 5 projects totally 64.5MW; 3 year and 10 year terms • Lithium-ion batteries

  10. Storage – Customer Side Solutions • On the customer side of the meter we see increased interest in storage technologies through our Self-Generation Incentive Program. • Last year the CPUC modified SGIP program rules to allocate 75% of the program budget to energy storage technologies. Estimated additional installation of 218-261 MW • AB2868 500 MW distributed and customer storage mandate

  11. Storage – CPUC / ISO coordination • 2014 Joint Energy Storage Roadmap • Station Power • Multi-Use Applications

  12. Next Steps • Evaluate 2016 RFO results • Address Storage Track 1 issues including station power • Implement AB2868 500 MW distributed and customer storage mandate • Integrated Resource Plans
