Largest US battery resource connects to CAISO grid, signaling next phase in California’s storage growth
Jason Burwen, vice president of policy at the Energy Storage Association, said in a statement that the announcement reflects the relentless movement of energy storage into mainstream electric system operations.
“It’s also important to note that this project is a standalone battery storage system. While there can be benefits to integrating storage directly with generation as a ‘hybrid resource,’ the LS Power storage system in CAISO is a reminder that effective grid operations can utilize the flexibility of storage as a standalone asset,” Burwen said.
