Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--A utility-scale battery energy-storage system (BESS) unit in California is now operational, and the state is primed to host more related project activity. Industrial Info is tracking $8.5 billion worth of energy-storage projects across the state that have a high or medium (70-99%) probability of moving forward as planned. California leads all U.S. states in terms of project count and ranks third in total investment value.

Canadian Solar Incorporated (NASDAQ:CSIQ) (Guelph, Ontario) and Axium Infrastructure (New York, New York) announced Tuesday the 350-megawatt (MW) BESS at the Crimson Photovoltaic (PV) Solar Plant in Blythe, is now online. The project is the world's largest battery-storage project to reach operation in a single phase, according to a related press release. Canadian Solar sold 80% of the project to Axium last year, while a Canadian Solar subsidiary, Recurrent Energy LLC (project developer), has retained 20% ownership.

Among other energy-storage projects in the Golden State are Consolidated Edison Incorporated's (NYSE:ED) (ConEd) (Baltimore, Maryland) 131-MW Westside Canal BESS in El Centro. The project, which is scheduled for completion by the end of the year, is the first phase of a potential multi-phase project aimed at eventually reaching 2,000 MW of capacity. Subscribers can click here for the project report.
CD Arevon USA Incorporated (Scottsdale, Arizona) is at work on the 200-MW Avocet BESS near a substation in Torrance, California, in the Greater Los Angeles area. The completion is expected in June 2023. Meanwhile, the company plans to start construction in January on two other projects: the 300-MW Comorant BESS and 200-MW Kestresl BESS. All three will use Tesla Incorporated's (NASDAQ:TSLA) (Austin, Texas) Megapack lithium-ion battery technology. Subscribers can see detailed reports for the Avocet, Comorant and Kestrel projects.
8minute Solar Energy (El Centro, California), which has rebranded to Avantus, is developing a 700-MW, $500 million BESS at the Rexford PV Solar Plant in Tulare. The project is expected to kick off in October 2023. Click here for the project report.

State entities are taking steps to further expand energy storage for renewable energy; Governor Gavin Newsom's 2022-23 fiscal budget includes $140 million in funding for long-duration storage, which is defined as energy storage that can power the grid for 10 hours or more. According to the budget text, in addition to helping with grid resiliency in the context of emergencies, including wildfires, the investment will "provide a decarbonized complement to intermittent renewables, which will provide the state with additional energy storage options during periods of low renewable power availability."
In February, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) (San Francisco) ordered the state's electric generators to procure 15,000 MW of new energy storage by 2032.
