The utility's goal is to have a system that makes energy usage available on demand, a CPS Energy official said.
CPS Energy is seeking to build or acquire up to 500 megawatts of energy storage systems, such as batteries, seen above, as a part of its new power generation portfolio.CPS Energy is looking for contractors who can help it build or acquire up to 500 megawatts of “energy storage systems” — such as batteries — as a part of its new power generation portfolio, approved by the utility’s board of trustees earlier this year.
CPS Energy’s latest request for proposals comes in the wake of a record-breaking heat for Texas, which saw the state’s grid operator, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, issue eight conservation appeals to residents. Amid record growth, Texas’ electricity demand record was broken 10 times during the summer, as well.
CPS Energy intentionally issued the request for proposals with broad parameters, Sotoodeh told reporters, to see what is out in the market right now.
