How Storage Fits Within SDG&E’s Mission

Our Mission
We improve lives and communities by building the cleanest, safest and most reliable energy company in America.
Regulatory Drivers
• CPUC Mandate AB 2514
– Initial energy deployment targets in California for utilities
– Storage goals split between Transmission, Distribution and Customer
domains
– Deployment can be shifted between domains within limits
• AB 2868
– Further deployment of 167 MW of energy storage
– Programs and investments targeted toward public sector and low-income
customers will be prioritized by the CPUC
•Distribution Resource Plan/Integrated Distributed Energy Resources
– Provides the foundation for further evaluation and deployment of DER in
California
– Changes utility systems and processes to establish DER hosting capacity and
benefit streams
Procurement Targets and Current Progress
Transmission Distribution Customer Total
Established Target 80 MW 55 MW 30 MW 165 MW
Energy Storage Use Cases
• Likely Use Cases for the Distribution System
– Renewables integration
– Equipment deferral
– Reliability (islanding/grid forming/blackstart)

Existing & Planned Energy Storage Deployments at SDG&E
Substation Energy Storage – deployed adjacent to the substation interconnecting at either
distribution or transmission level
Community Energy Storage – deployed on the secondary side of a distribution transformer
Market Energy Storage Systems – deployed SES that participate in the CAISO marketplace
Distributed Energy Resource Aggregations– collections of SES and CES aggregations bundled for market
participation
Existing Pending (Approved by CPUC)
– Customer 23.91MW - Distribution 13.5MW
– Distribution 43.65 MW - Transmission 70MW

SDG&E / SEI VRF History
• The Japanese government, via NEDO and Sumitomo Electric, sought a California IOU partner for a United States demonstration project
• NEDO was providing $20M to fund Sumitomo to manufacture and install the battery plant
• NEDO and Sumitomo wanted to provide a full-scale system, between 2-8 MW interconnected and operated on an IOU’s distribution system
• Support any use cases determined by the IOU to be most beneficial
• SDG&E was chosen as the IOU member to partner with Sumitomo.
• Sumitomo Electric and SDG&E signed an agreement in April 2016
• Redox Flow battery was installed at the Miguel substation in Bonita, CA 2MW/8MWh
• The Redox Flow Battery was fully operational June 2017
