Additional information
SCE’s 5 MW lithium-ion system from developer Western Grid comes with only a three-year contract term, mainly because its future energy capacity has already been spoken for, via a contract award last year to help SCE meet requirements set under California’s broader energy storage mandate, which requires the state’s big three utilities to procure 1.3 GW of energy storage by decade’s end.
Methodology
All publicly-announced energy storage projects included in this analysis are drawn from GlobalData’s Power IC. The information regarding the projects are sourced through secondary information sources such as country specific power players, company news and reports, statistical organisations, regulatory body, government planning reports and their publications and is further validated through primary from various stakeholders such as power utility companies, consultants, energy associations of respective countries, government bodies and professionals from leading players in the power sector.
