Electric Energy Storage

The CPUC opened a proceeding on electric energy storage in 2010 to set policy for California utilities to consider the procurement of viable and cost-effective energy storage systems. The CPUC believes this is an important opportunity to continue its rational implementation of advanced sustainable energy technologies and the integration of intermittent resources in our electricity grid.
