SDG&E Seeks More Storage To Harness Clean Energy, Enhance Reliability
San Diego Gas & Electric has signed contracts for five new local battery storage facilities for a total of 83.5 MW. These four-hour energy storage facilities would be like having
SDG&E's utility-owned battery storage portfolio is expected to reach nearly 480 MW of power capacity and over 1.9 GWh of energy storage by year-end, including the Westside Canal expansion and two additional projects in San Diego County currently being constructed.
When energy demand is high, the stored water is released downhill to turn turbines that produce energy. The Water Authority and City of San Diego are evaluating the feasibility of developing a pumped storage energy project at the City of San Diego's San Vicente Reservoir near Lakeside.
It would store 4,000 megawatt-hours per day of energy (500 megawatts of capacity for eight hours), enough energy for about 135,000 households. The San Diego County Water Authority, which owns approximately two-thirds of the reservoir's water storage capacity, is partnering with the City on this potential project.
With safety at its core, SDG&E closely adheres to recognized energy-storage safety practices through robust safety systems, strong coordination with first responders, and regular reviews of the latest research, helping advance a safe transition to a cleaner energy future.
Battery storage is also part of SDG&E's aim to improve energy affordability by securing federal tax credits that can help reduce electric infrastructure costs.
SDG&E is an innovative energy delivery company that provides clean, safe and reliable energy to better the lives of the people it serves in San Diego and southern Orange counties.
