SDG&E was already bidding out storage projects when California regulators said they wanted to pick up the pace, allowing the utility to have the AES project on the table within months.

“We were in the process of a competitive solicitation for energy storage and already had completed a pre-evaluation of respondents,” SDG&E Chief Development Officer James Avery, “As a result, we could move quickly to respond to theCPUC’s request for expedited proposals.”
