California PUC requires SCE to procure at least 50 MW of new electrical capacity in LA Basin from energy storage systems

Green Car Congress

Among the requirements of the decision is that at least 50 MW must be procured from energy storage resources. For the defined portion of the Los Angeles basin, at least 1,000 MW, but no more than 1,200 MW of this capacity must be procured from conventional gas-fired resources. This is a critical step, bridging our past and future.
