Will SDG&E expand Westside battery energy storage facility?
The CPUC meanwhile has approved an expansion of California utility San Diego Gas & Electric’s (SDG&E’s) Westside Canal Battery Energy Storage Facility. Located in the state’s Imperial Valley, the expansion will add 100MW of energy storage capacity to the facility’s existing 131MW of storage capacity.
What changes did the CPUC make to energy storage safety?
Additionally, the CPUC made updates including establishing technical logbook standards for BESS and expanding requirements for emergency plans relating to all electric generating facilities. Recently, the San Diego and Monterey County Boards of Supervisors (BoS) both had items related to energy storage safety on their agendas.
What will SDG&E's energy storage expansion entail?
Located in the state’s Imperial Valley, the expansion will add 100MW of energy storage capacity to the facility’s existing 131MW of storage capacity. SDG&E expects the project to be operational by June 2025, adding that the complex’s then 231MW of energy storage will be the largest asset in its utility-owned battery storage portfolio.
Why is a battery energy storage system being renamed 'Bess'?
This is in order to add new safety standards for the maintenance and operation of battery energy storage systems (BESS), as required by Senate Bill 1383 (SB 1383). This move follows the fire at the Moss Landing Energy Storage Facility, owned by utility Vistra Corp, which took place on the afternoon of 16 January 2025.
