DOE ESHB Chapter 20 Energy Storage Procurement
This chapter supports procurement of energy storage systems (ESS) and services, primarily through the development of procurement documents such as Requests for Proposal (RFPs),
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.
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.
You can find the California Public Utilities Commission Energy Storage Procurement Study at The study was prepared by Lumen Energy Strategy, LLC for the California Public Utilities Commission and was released on May 31, 2023.
Recent contracts are predominantly for much larger transmission-connected energy storage projects. Earlier energy storage contracts were significantly more expensive across all grid domains, and they generally reflect the cost reductions seen in the global storage industry.
