A Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) is a technology designed to store and manage energy for later use. It typically uses rechargeable batteries to store energy from various sources, such as the electrical grid, renewable energy sources like solar or wind power, or other power generation methods. Some benefits of a BESS include:
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.
Boulevard Microgrid and Battery Energy Storage System Project Helps advance our state's and region's renewable energy goals. Energy storage projects support grid reliability and the integration of more clean energy into the electric grid.
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.
Typically, these battery systems and microgrids are installed on SDG&E-owned property; they are adjacent to our existing substation facilities or in critical locations where grid reliability and resiliency is needed most.
