Energy storage can provide a multitude of benefits to California, including supporting the integration of greater amounts of renewable energy into the electric grid, deferring the need for new fossil-fueled power plants and transmission and distribution infrastructure, and reducing dependence on fossil fuel generation to meet peak loads.
We are excited to share the release of the updated Energy Storage Survey, showcasing California’s remarkable progress in energy storage deployment. The state has added over 3,000 MW of battery storage capacity in the last six months alone, bringing the total to more than 13,300 MW – a 30% increase since April 2024 (Source).
In 2013, the CPUC issued Decision (D.)13-10-040 which set an AB 2514 energy storage procurement target of 1,325 megawatts (MW) by 2020. The CPUC's energy storage procurement policy was formulated with three primary goals: Greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions in support of the State's targets.
The Public Utilities Code defines an energy storage system as a commercially available technology that absorbs energy, storing it for a specified period, and then dispatches the energy.
From 2018 to 2024, battery storage capacity in California increased from 500 megawatts (MW) to more than 13,300 MW, with an additional 3,000 MW planned to come online by the end of 2024. The state projects 52,000 MW of battery storage will be needed by 2045.
Resolution E-4937 approved SCE's energy storage solicitation to comply with SB 801. To date the CPUC has approved procurement of more than 1,533.52 MW of new storage capacity to be built in the State. Of this total 506 MW are operational.

Business Models and Profitability of Energy Storage
The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) took a first step and published a framework of eleven rules prescribing when energy storage is allowed to provide multiple services. The framework delineates which combinations are permitted and how business models should be prioritized ( American Public Power Association, 2018 ).
