Bill > SB1295

This bill requires the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), by January 1, 2030, to consider strategies for installing up to 40,000 megawatts of energy storage systems statewide, and as part of these strategies, to consider setting targets for load-serving entities (organizations that sell electricity to consumers) to procure viable and cost-effective energy storage systems by December 31, 2040. If the CPUC sets such targets, load-serving entities can meet up to 50% of their obligation with energy storage systems they own, that are connected to the grid at the transmission or distribution level, or that are located on the customer's side of the meter, provided they demonstrate viability and cost-effectiveness. The CPUC must also review these procurement strategies and targets at least every three years, and any violation of the CPUC's actions to implement this bill would be a crime, though the bill states no reimbursement is required for local agencies due to this.
