California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed legislation AB2514 official this week, and it changes the face of the entire power industry that law to go into the details of the spread to other areas in the United States
What makes this law so unique? it is very close to the obligation that the add-ins to be invested in energy storage to make it easier to combine the power of renewable energy sources.
AB2514 requires the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) "open procedure" no later than 1 March 2012 to discuss potential investors owned utility (IOU) with the objectives of the energy storage at the same time-the time limit one 31--.December 2015 to achieve the objectives of creating a series of 31.December 2020.
Should a similar set of public services is an important source of demand response activities with the requirements of the plan.
Assembly member Nancy Skinner "energy storage to improve the efficiency of the electric power system, which lowers the costs to consumers," said, when a Bill in June. "The Assembly is a step in the passage of the AB 2514, advances to California's clean energy economy and represents a major economic opportunity for the State. "
"We applaud Assembly passage of this essential as well as a Chairman of the Skinner, Attorney General Brown leadership and commitment to move forward," said Janice Lin, Director of the California Energy Storage Alliance when the Bill passes. "This landmark bill put California growing global market, which accelerate the economic development at the forefront.Because large advances energy storage, the industry is prepared to offer affordable and reliable products of California's and consumers. "
"California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger just signed AB2514, energy storage Bill of law tonight" wrote a silent Power CEO Todd Headlee company blog."This Bill travel is a major step forward in the reliable, clean, and lower costs for electric power for all Californians.Thanks to the clean Electricity storage, local renewable wind and solar energy that is supported by a clean storage.Storage and Californians is clean power when and where they need it, and with less need for new power transmission. "(The silent Power, Inc. manufactures and markets a distributed energy storage systems.)
CALMAC Corp., a company that manufactures energy storage devices publications in the CEO Mark MacCracken after it was signed.
"Energy storage is an excellent solution for renewable energy more economically viable," said MacCracken. "Energy storage is critical, we can move towards the use of renewable resources and energy Storage Bill AB 2514 is a step in the right direction in the future of our country's energy needs. I commend in California that realized that our energy problems is not simply by placing solar roofs for managers and wind turbines, the mountains, because the Sun and the wind is not to be there when you need them. I hope States follow California's lead. "
If the CPUC decides to create a broad energy storage items, this invoice can be a sign of things renewable interconnection with other countries in the region, but, of course, is always the loophole: AB2514 only requires that the objectives to be discussed further by the CPUC and. There is no guarantee the objectives And perhaps. in fact they may decide that does not stick to the current situation is needed, the objectives.
But AB2514 is certainly promising start for a stronger foothold in the door to traditional energy sources of renewable energy sources, And they use the camp. they find most stick: the Board of Directors.
