Electricity: energy storage systems.

Abstract

Existing law requires the Public Utilities Commission to determine appropriate targets for each load-serving entity to procure viable and cost-effective energy storage systems to be achieved by December 31, 2015, and December 31, 2020. Existing law requires the governing board of each local publicly owned electric utility to initiate a process to determine appropriate targets for the utility to procure viable cost-effective energy storage systems to be achieved by December 31, 2015, and December 31, 2020. Existing law requires each publicly owned electric utility to prudently plan for and procure resources, including energy storage systems adequate to meet the 2015 and 2020 targets, to provide reliable electric service to its customers. This bill would require the commission to determine appropriate targets, if any, for each load-serving entity to procure viable and cost-effective energy storage systems to be achieved by December 31, 2030, as specified. The bill would require the commission to require electrical corporations to offer time-of-use pricing or dynamic pricing to customers using energy storage at their premises. Because a violation of an order, decision, rule, direction, demand, or requirement of the commission would be a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The bill would require the governing board of each community choice aggregator and each publicly owned electric utility, by July 1, 2018, to determine appropriate targets, if any, for the community choice aggregator or electric utility, as applicable, to procure viable and cost-effective energy storage systems to be achieved by December 31, 2030. The bill would require the governing board of each local publicly owned electric utility, in planning for future procurement of resources, to consider the benefits of procuring energy storage systems and to procure energy storage systems before fossil-fuel-based generation in specified circumstances. Because this bill would impose additional requirements on the governing boards of local publicly owned electric utilities and community choice aggregators, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for specified reasons.
