Groundbreaking Study:

Long Duration Energy Storage for California's Clean, Reliable Grid

California needs 45-55 gigawatts of long duration energy storage by 2045 to hit climate targets and maintain clean, reliable electricity.

 New research finds California alone will need to increase its long duration energy storage capacity deploying 2-11 GW by 2030, and 45-55 GW by 2045.

For key takeaways and study insights from our CESA policy and regulatory experts…

Applying the methodology used in this study can help other solar-dominated Western states to intelligently plan for their future energy storage needs as well- this need for long duration storage is not limited to our state.
