What is energy storage?
Energy storage encompasses an array of technologies that enable energy produced at one time, such as during daylight or windy hours, to be stored for later use. LPO can finance commercially ready projects across storage technologies, including flywheels, mechanical technologies, electrochemical technologies, thermal storage, and chemical storage.
How can energy storage improve California's Energy System?
By demonstrating how targeted deployment of energy storage can increase the grid’s ability to handle greater amounts of local solar, yielding substantial grid and ratepayer benefits, VGES will set the stage for increased deployment of clean local energy in California and beyond.
What is the difference between manufacturing and deployment of energy storage systems?
Manufacturing: Projects that manufacture energy storage systems for a variety of residential, commercial, and utility scale clean energy storage end uses. Deployment: Projects that deploy residential, commercial, and utility scale energy storage systems for a variety of clean energy and clean transportation end uses.
Why is energy storage important?
Energy storage serves important grid functions, including time-shifting energy across hours, days, weeks, or months; regulating grid frequency; and ensuring flexibility to balance supply and demand.
Can LPO finance energy storage projects?
LPO can finance short and long duration energy storage projects to increase flexibility, stability, resilience, and reliability on a renewables-heavy grid. Why Energy Storage?
