Energy storage serves as an essential component to a resilient, cost-effective and flexible electric grid by being a "force multiplier" for carbon-free energy. It allows for the integration of more solar, wind, and distributed energy resources, ensuring we can deploy the stored energy to the grid when and where it''s needed most. AES
That study recommended the development of 600MW of energy storage by 2025, which would lead to more than US$800 million in cost savings to ratepayers. Among other things, DOER found over 40% of residents’ electricity spending, equivalent to US$3 billion per year, went on the top 10% most expensive hours for electricity supply.

Elements of the procurement, construction, and commissioning of battery energy storage have much in common with traditional infrastructure and technology procurements.
These developments are propelling the market for battery energy storage systems (BESS). Battery storage is an essential enabler of renewable-energy
Such data is needed because California could be investing a lot more money in this type of resource. A forthcoming study from Strategen Consulting found that 40 gigawatts of long-duration storage
Between 2020 and 2022, the cost of battery grade lithium carbonate has swung from $6/kg to as high as $70/kg. To put this in perspective, a $30/kg increase in lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide can increase the price of battery cells by 25%. Purchasing these materials at scale will play a critical role in reducing the cost of raw materials
