Table of State Energy Storage Targets, Progress, and Comments

Todd Olinsky-Paul, Olivia Tym, Samantha Donalds | CESA

Definitions & Abbreviations

This table includes all existing state energy storage procurement mandates, targets, and goals. These terms describe various ways states may set an intention to attain a specified level of energy storage deployment by a specific date, and the role of regulated electric utilities in helping realize that intention.

  • Mandate is a goal with legal liability for non-attainment
  • A Target is a defined goal with measures for follow-through
  • A Goal is a number without defined accountability.

Some of the abbreviations used in this table are: kW (kilowatts), MW (megawatts), GW (gigawatts), kWh (kilowatt hours), MWh (megawatt hours), GWh (gigawatt hours), BTM (behind-the-meter, which refers to customer-sited installations), LDES (long-duration energy storage), and IOU (investor-owned utility).

1 YF2AyeHx July 25, 2024 05:13 PM SamanthaD August 28, 2024 04:08 PM California 1,825 MW procured by 2020 and installed by 2024. Carve-out of 500 MW for BTM. Additional 2 GW (1 GW of 12-hr storage and 1 GW multi-day) of LDES to be deployed between 2031 and 2037. 10,383 MW total (8,736 MW utility, 571 MW commercial, 1,076 residential) (4999 pending 1,193 MW BTM) 569% In 2010, the California Legislature authorized the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to consider establishing energy storage targets. The CPUC established their storage procurement targets in 2013, authorized by AB 2514. The procurement targets apply to the state's three largest Investor Owned Utilities. This goal has been achieved. LDES targets were set in August 2024 as part of AB 1373, which sets larger clean energy targets. Statewide energy storage installation data is tracked here.
