California's rapid expansion of battery energy storage is already helping deliver real results for grid reliability.
Governor Gavin Newsom highlighted an important milestone yesterday: California recently met its highest electricity demand since 2022 without emergency measures or calls for conservation.
Battery storage has played an increasingly important role in strengthening the state's electric grid. Since 2019, California's battery storage capacity has grown by more than 3,100%, with more than 23,000 megawatts of storage now serving the state.
As electricity demand continues to grow, expanding battery storage will be essential to keeping energy reliable and affordable for Californians.
