PG&E Proposes New Battery Energy Storage Projects Totaling Nearly 1,600 MW by 2024
LCG, January 25, 2022--Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) announced plans yesterday for nine new battery energy storage projects totaling approximately 1,600 MW. The projects range in capacity from 80 MW to 350 MW. All proposed projects are stand-alone projects that would provide for four-hour discharge duration and utilize lithium-ion battery energy storage technology. PG&E has executed 15-year Resource Adequacy agreements, and, if approved by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), PG&E’s contracted total battery energy storage system (BESS) capacity in California would grow through 2024 to exceed 3,330 MW.
PG&E’s Senior Vice President of Electric Engineering stated, “As we work year-round to strengthen our electric system, we are also planning, engineering and building the grid for a future that harnesses the power of solar plus storage on an unprecedented scale. We are committed to safely delivering reliable and clean energy in a way that achieves the greatest value for our customers. And we know we can’t go it alone. We welcome continued partnerships with the best and the brightest to make California’s clean energy future a reality.”
The nine BESS project agreements are the result of a competitive request for offers (RFO) PG&E launched to procure energy resources ordered by the CPUC’s June 2021 decision directing all load serving entities (LSEs) in California to collectively procure 11.5 GW of new electricity resources. The projects would participate in the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) markets and provide energy and ancillary services to the CAISO-controlled grid. The nine proposed projects are:
