On June 28, 2011, the California Public Utilities Commission (“CPUC”) held the latest in a series of workshops aimed at establishing rules for bringing energy storage into the California energy system. The proceeding was undertaken pursuant to AB 2514, a bill passed in late-2010 calling for the CPUC to consider whether to require the utilities to incorporate energy storage into their energy procurement proceedings.
