CPUC Decision D.13-05-010 approved SDG&E's 2012 General Rate Case, including $26 million in 2009 dollars for energy-storage capital projects and establishment of an Energy Storage Balancing Account (ESBA). Canyon Crest Academy was funded under this program.
EIA-923 reports gross generation and net grid exchange for storage plants. Gross generation is shown as a discharge proxy; it is not a cycle count or conventional capacity factor.
