Energy Storage Target

December 05, 2023

Summary

Note: A portion of the targets will be achieved through the state's Energy Storage Solutions program, which will run from 2022-2030.

S.B. 952, enacted in June 2021, created energy storage targets of 300MW by December 31, 2024; 650MW by December 31, 2027; and 1,000MW by December 31, 2030.

The bill also required the Public Utilities Regulatory Authority to open proceedings regarding the development and implementation of programs for energy storage systems connected to the grid, including programs for residential customers, commercial & industrial customers, and energy storage systems in front of the meter not located on customer premises. The Authority must also consider other programs to incentivize storage deployment connected to the grid, including new rate designs.
