AI Summary

This bill requires the Independent System Operator (ISO) to conduct competitive solicitations for the procurement of long duration bulk energy storage projects. The first solicitation, to be completed by June 30, 2022, is for projects with a total capacity of at least 2,000 megawatts but not more than 2,400 megawatts. After December 31, 2030, the ISO may conduct an additional solicitation for up to 2,000 megawatts of long duration bulk energy storage if needed. The bill specifies that the selected projects must be cost-effective, feasible, and able to support the integration of renewable energy and achieve greenhouse gas reduction goals. The costs of the selected projects will be recovered from load-serving entities within the ISO-controlled grid based on cost causation and benefits. The bill also includes provisions to address potential federal preemption or actions that may affect California's clean energy policies.
