A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ANAHEIM ADOPTING AN ENERGY STORAGE PLAN AND
DETERMINING THAT A PROCUREMENT TARGET OF UP TO
50 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 (Assembly Bill 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 (ES) 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; 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 systems
for either December 31, 2016 or December 31, 2021 was not appropriate at that time as
commercially available ES technologies were not cost-effective energy storage system options that
would significantly improve system reliability; and
WHEREAS, on September 26, 2017, the City Council approved Resolution No.
2017-142 which set an ES procurement target of (a) 1 MW for a pilot project to be completed by
December 31, 2021; and (b) up to 10 MW to be completed by December 31, 2026 depending on
the results of the pilot project and future ES technologies, subject to City Council authorization;
and
WHEREAS, the Energy Storage System Plan dated July 2020 (the "Energy Storage
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 Energy Storage Plan notes the continued growth in solar and wind
generation and the increased price volatility in the energy market and finds that, with declining
costs, ES system technologies provide a viable solution for a more robust and reliable energy
supply.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Anaheim City Council as
follows:
1. The findings set forth above and within the Energy Storage Plan are hereby
adopted by the Anaheim City Council.
2. Based on the foregoing, the Anaheim City Council determines that the
following procurement targets are appropriate, feasible, and cost-effective: (a) 0 MW of energy
storage by December 31, 2021; and (b) up to 50 MW of energy storage by December 31, 2026,
subject to 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.
