RES-2017-142RESOLUTION NO. 2017- 142
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ANAHEIM DETERMINING THAT A PROCUREMENT
TARGET OF UP TO 11 MEGAWATTS OF ENERGY
STORAGE SYSTEMS BY DECEMBER 31, 2026 IS
APPROPRIATE SUBJECT TO CITY COUNCIL
AUTHORIZATION FOR FUTURE CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
AND AUTHORIZING THE PUBLIC UTILITIES GENERAL
MANAGER OR DESIGNEE TO PREPARE, EXECUTE, AND
SUBMIT DOCUMENTS AND TAKE SUCH ACTIONS AS
NECESSARY IN CONNECTION WITH THE
DETERMINATION MADE HEREUNDER.
WHEREAS, California Public Utilities Code section 2836 (AB 2514) requires the
governing boards of each publicly -owned utility, including the City of Anaheim (Anaheim), to
determine any cost-effective and viable energy storage technologies for its utility systems, to set
procurement targets by October 1, 2014, and to reevaluate the determinations no less than once
every three years (by October 1, 2017); and
WHEREAS, on August 12, 2014, the City Council approved Resolution No.
2014-146 in which it was determined that the adoption of procurement targets for energy storage
(ES) systems for either December 31, 2016 or December 31, 2021 was not appropriate; and
WHEREAS, this determination was based on the Energy Storage System Plan
dated July 2014 which concluded that Anaheim already had high system reliability and ES
technologies were not cost-effective energy storage system options; and
WHEREAS, since 2014, the Anaheim Public Utilities Department (Department)
has reevaluated ES technologies, their viability and availability as well the cost effectiveness of
these systems for the Department and its electric service system; and
WHEREAS, the Updated Energy Storage System Plan dated July 2017 (the
"Updated Plan"), which is attached to the staff report accompanying this resolution, lays out the
Department's reevaluation of ES systems and contains its findings; and
WHEREAS, the Updated Plan found that ES technologies may be an area of
opportunity for Anaheim to mitigate the intermittency of renewable power resources and address
ancillary service requirements; provided ES technologies do not adversely affect Department
customer rates; and
WHEREAS, the Update Plan recommended establishing ES procurement targets
for December 31, 2021 at 1 megawatt (MW) for the Harbor Substation ES pilot project (Pilot
Project) to allow the Department to (1) fully evaluate the cost-effectiveness and viability of ES
for energy time -shift and the self -provision of ancillary services; (2) gain first-hand experience
with the operating characteristics of the selected technology; and (3) evaluate the feasibility of
expanded uses such as backup resource adequacy capacity; and
WHEREAS, the Pilot Project will further assist the Department whether a 10 MW
ES expansion at the Canyon Power Plant is feasible, suitable, and cost-effective.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Anaheim City Council as
follows:
1. The findings set forth above and within the Updated Plan are hereby
adopted by the Anaheim City Council.
2. Based on the foregoing, the Anaheim City Council determines that a
procurement target of 1 MW of energy storage by December 31, 2021 for the Pilot Project is
appropriate and, if it is determined feasible, suitable, and cost-effective based on the
Department's evaluation of the Pilot Project and future development of ES technologies, the
Anaheim City Council determines that a procurement target of up to an additional 10 MW of
energy storage by December 31, 2026 is appropriate for a total of 11 MW. Any future capital
expenditures for ES technology procurement shall require further Anaheim City Council
authorization.
3. The Anaheim City Council authorizes the Public Utilities General
Manager, or designee, on behalf of Anaheim, to prepare, execute, and submit any documents and
take such actions, as necessary, in connection with the determination made hereunder.
THE FOREGOING RESOLUTION is approved and adopted by the City Council
