The Southern California Public Power Authority (SCPPA) and Ice Energy this week announced an agreement to develop one of the first utility-scale energy storage projects in the U.S. The 53 megawatt (MW) project, to be implemented by SCPPA member utilities throughout Southern California is expected to shift as much as 64 gigawatt-hours of on-peak electrical consumption to off-peak periods every year, reducing exposure to costly peak power and improving the reliability of the electrical grid.
