4 FAQs about High-efficiency government procurement of photovoltaic energy storage containers

What is California's energy storage procurement framework?

California's energy storage ecosystem, built since Assembly Bill 2514 and through 2021, includes a crucial component: the PU's Energy Storage Procurement Framework. This framework motivates the development of both demand and supply in the energy storage marketplace.

What is the CPUC Energy Storage Procurement Study?

The CPUC Energy Storage Procurement Study aims to improve data practices by addressing the lack of comprehensive and quality-controlled actual project characteristics and operational data across all resources and grid domains.

What does the PU's Energy Storage Procurement Framework do?

The PU’s Energy Storage Procurement Framework provides crucial motivation to the development of both demand and supply in this marketplace. Since the time of Assembly Bill 2514 and through 2021 California built a rich ecosystem for energy storage research and development, commercialization, and project deployment.

What are energy storage procurement contracts?

Energy storage procurement contracts must also take into account the ever-evolving suite of laws and regulations applicable to energy storage projects, including as a result of the recent change in administration in the United States.
