The California Energy Storage Alliance said that San Diego Gas and Electric Company exceeded the 50 percent allowable limit of utility-owned storage procurement required under the state’s 2010 storage mandate, and is relying too much on that procurement to count towards the level of megawatts needed to meet its full obligations. The group asserted that the company should continue to procure third-party owned projects to ensure compliance, according to an April 10 filing with the California Public Utilities Commission protesting the company’s 2018 procurement plan.
