SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON 3 Advanced Technology
Major Policy and Technology Drivers for Storage
• Expanding Penetration of Solar and Wind generation
– 33% Renewable Portfolio Standard
– Distributed PV (1-2MW arrays)
– Self-Generation Incentive Program (SGIP)
– California Solar Initiative (CSI)
• Regulatory Change for Non-Renewable Generation
– Once-Through Cooling (OTC)
