PDF version includes complete article with source references. Suitable for printing and offline reading.
Energy storage procurement contracts must also take into account the ever-evolving suite of laws and regulations applicable to energy storage projects, including as a result of the recent change in administration in the United States.
California's energy storage ecosystem, built since Assembly Bill 2514 and through 2021, includes a crucial component: the PU's Energy Storage Procurement Framework. This framework motivates the development of both demand and supply in the energy storage marketplace.
Recent contracts are predominantly for much larger transmission-connected energy storage projects. Earlier energy storage contracts were significantly more expensive across all grid domains, and they generally reflect the cost reductions seen in the global storage industry.
