\nPacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) has requested California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) approval of six additional battery energy storage projects totaling 387 megawatts (MW) of capacity, intended to further integrate clean energy from renewable generation sources while helping to ensure future reliability of the electric system.\n<\/p>\n
\nThe six project agreements complete PG&E\u2019s procurement requirements outlined in a November 2019 CPUC decision<\/a> that identified potential electric system reliability issues beginning in summer of 2021. In that decision, the CPUC authorized PG&E to procure at least 716.9 MW of system reliability resources to come online between August 1, 2021 and August 1, 2023.\n<\/p>\n \nIn May, PG&E announced the results of its first round of procurement: 423 MW of battery energy storage<\/a> capacity, scheduled to be online by August 2021.\n<\/p>\n \n\u201cThe next few years will be pivotal for the deployment and integration of utility-scale battery energy storage onto the grid. PG&E has awarded contracts for battery energy storage projects totaling more than 1,000 MW of capacity to be deployed through 2023, all of which contribute to meeting California\u2019s ambitious clean energy goals while ensuring grid efficiency and reliability, reducing the need to build additional fossil fuel generation plants, and keeping customer costs affordable,\u201d said Fong Wan, senior vice president, Energy Policy and Procurement, PG&E.\n<\/p>\n Project Details<\/b><\/p>\n \nThe project agreements resulted from a competitive request for offers (RFO)<\/a> PG&E launched in July. The six new projects listed below all feature lithium-ion battery energy storage technology, each with a four-hour discharge duration.\n<\/p>\n \nThe AMCOR project, the Lancaster Battery Storage project, and the LeConte Energy Storage project \u2013 totaling 194 MW \u2013 are scheduled to come online by August 2022.\n<\/p>\n \nThe North Central Valley Energy Storage project and both Daggett projects \u2013 totaling 193 MW \u2013 are scheduled to be online by August 2023.\n<\/p>\n \nCounterparty (Project Name)\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \nTechnology\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \nInitial \nTerm \nSize \nNexus Renewables U.S. INC (AMCOR)\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \nLithium Ion Batteries\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n8\/1\/2022\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n15\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n27\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nLancaster Battery Storage, LLC (Lancaster Battery Storage)\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \nLithium Ion Batteries\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n8\/1\/2022\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n15\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n127\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nLeConte Energy Storage, LLC (LeConte Energy Storage)\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \nLithium Ion Batteries\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n8\/1\/2022\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n15\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n40\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nNorth Central Valley Energy Storage, LLC (North Central Valley Energy Storage)\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \nLithium Ion Batteries\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n8\/1\/2023\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n15\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n132\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nDaggett Solar Power 2, LLC (Daggett 2 BESS)\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \nLithium Ion Batteries\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n8\/1\/2023\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n15\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n46\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nDaggett Solar Power 3, LLC (Daggett 3 BESS)\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \nLithium Ion Batteries\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n8\/1\/2023\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n15\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n15\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n About PG&E<\/b><\/p>\n \nPacific Gas and Electric Company, a subsidiary of PG&E Corporation<\/a> (NYSE:PCG), is one of the largest combined natural gas and electric energy companies in the United States.
