- Pacific Gas & Electric on Friday proposed nine new battery projects, amounting to 1,600 MW/6,400 MWh, to provide energy and ancillary services in the California Independent System Operator markets, in a broader bid to help shore up the state’s electric grid.
- The nine projects consist of lithium-ion battery technology, providing four hours of storage. The projects — which are subject to approval by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) — would boost the utility’s total battery storage capacity to over 3,330 MW by 2024.
