For legislation relative to energy storage procurement for 2025 and 2030. Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy.

AI Summary

This bill requires the Department of Energy Resources to set statewide energy storage deployment targets of 1,766 MW by January 1, 2025, and a subsequent target by January 1, 2030. The bill allows the Department to consider various policies to encourage cost-effective energy storage deployment, including refining procurement methods, using alternative compliance payments for pilot programs, and using energy efficiency funds if customer-owned energy storage provides peak load reductions. Load serving entities must report on their compliance with the targets, and the Department may establish alternative compliance payments for entities that fail to meet the targets.
