Yesterday, Scott Murtishaw, Executive Director of CESA, joined Governor Newsom and other clean energy leaders at a press conference to celebrate the installation of 10,000 MW of battery energy storage in California. Governor Newsom remarked, "In just five years, California has increased its battery storage capacity more than tenfold." Murtishaw emphasized, "The stationary energy storage industry began in California. We boast more installed energy storage capacity than any other state, and the largest and second-largest energy storage facilities in the world are located here. We should all feel proud of what the energy storage industry has accomplished."
CESA played a pivotal role in reaching this significant clean energy milestone, and we take immense pride in the success of the energy storage industry in California.
