20 SDCP Local Procurement Targets
• SDCP has a goal of 600 MW of local
capacity by 2035
• EnerSmart has a portfolio of projects in
San Diego County that in total could
represent over 160MW of local stand-alone storage
• Chula Vista is first project expected to
achieve commercial operations and
SDCP will continue to engage with
EnerSmart on additional projects
21 EnerSmart Chula Vista BESS: Overview
• Submitted under SDCP’s local RFI solicitation
• 6 MWac 2-hour battery energy storage
• Project is expected to achieve commercial operation in August 2023, and is now petitioning for full capacity deliverability status with SDG&E
22 EnerSmart Chula Vista BESS: Key Terms
Product: Local Resource Adequacy
Fixed pricing for 10-year term
Guaranteed Initial Resource Adequacy Delivery Date: 3/31/2024 Resource Adequacy would help with SDCP’s internal local procurement targets as well as external resource adequacy and mid-term reliability compliance requirements
SDCP receives financial compensation for failure to meet certain performance requirements
23 EnerSmart Chula Vista BESS: Workforce Development
and Community Benefits
EnerSmart employs local labor when possible
EnerSmart used IBEW labor for the electrical portion of the Chula Vista project
EnerSmart projects benefit the community by providing clean energy to the grid when it's needed the most, helping to reduce the local risk of brownouts and blackouts.
EnerSmart provides local storage reducing the need for additional transmission to import energy
24 EnerSmart Chula Vista BESS: Staff Analysis
The EnerSmart Chula Vista project will contribute to SDCP’s local capacity by 2035 target
With commercial operations commencing in 2023, and FCDS expected in early 2024, the project could contribute to SDCP’s compliance requirements for mid-term reliability
Pricing is competitive with comparable product offerings received from SDCP’s recent RFOs
As a local facility developed by a local developer, this project is aligned with SDCP's goals to increase local reliability from clean energy resources and investment in our community
