Energy storage projects support grid reliability and the integration of more clean energy into the electric grid. Enables the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) to dispatch energy from our batteries at any time to help balance supply and demand on the statewide grid.
Paradise Microgrid and Battery Energy Storage System Project SDG&E has been rapidly expanding its battery energy storage and microgrid portfolio. We have around 21 BESS and microgrid sites with 335 megawatts (MW) of utility-owned energy storage and another 49+ MW in development.
Within the past five years, the state has grown its battery storage capacity by more than 15 times, up from just 770 MW in 2019. The project will help support the Marine Corps' largest West Coast expeditionary training facility, which encompasses more than 125,000 acres in San Diego County.
The project is the largest grant awarded under the Long-Duration Energy Storage Program, funded by Governor Gavin Newsom’s historic multi-billion-dollar commitment to combat climate change. Investing in new technologies such as long-term energy storage will help California achieve its goal of a clean energy system by 2045.
BESS technology, system design, safety features, and operational practices have advanced significantly in just the past few years. The energy storage technology being deployed today looks and operates very differently from the technology installed just three to five years ago.
SDG&E will work to minimize impacts such as noise and dust from construction activities to the extent possible. Construction may take place in phases. Sometimes planned outages may occur due to the nature of this work, and customers will be promptly notified.
