energy storage

12.13.24

In a study on battery energy storage last year, the California Independent System Operator (“CAISO”) estimated that California is projected to need 50 gigawatts of energy storage by 2045 to meet its greenhouse gas reduction goals. See CAISO Report on Energy Storage. To date, installed storage totals approximately 13 gigawatts.

That means California will need to permit a significant number of battery storage projects to meet its goal of transitioning from fossil fuels to zero-emission renewable resources. Battery storage is already urgently needed to address the overproduction (and subsequent curtailment) of large amounts of available solar energy during the middle of the day.
