Get StartedFollowing the expansion, SDG&E’s Westside Canal complex will feature 231 MW of energy storage and will be the largest asset in SDG&E's utility-owned battery storage portfolio.
Battery storage is also part of SDG&E’s aim to improve energy affordability by securing federal tax credits that can help reduce electric infrastructure costs.
This expansion project will add 100 megawatts (MW) of energy storage capacity to the existing 131 MW facility and is projected to be fully operational by June 2025.
In fact, SDG&E was able to lower the average monthly electric delivery bill for residential customers for the second year in a row, in part, because the company returned $200 million in federal tax credits to customers for recently completed battery storage.
SDG&E is a recognized leader in its industry and community, as demonstrated by being named Corporate Partner of the Year at the San Diego Business Journal’s Nonprofit & Corporate Citizenship Awards and receiving PA Consulting's ReliabilityOne® Award for Outstanding Reliability Performance for 18 consecutive years.
