The City of Corona Utilities Department operates a small electric utility serving approximately 2,000 customers within limited areas of the City. The City receives electric services through five Wholesale Distribution Access Tariff (WDAT) points of delivery with Southern California Edison and participates in the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) market with total annual energy consumption of 86,454MWh and a coincident system peak load of 17.3MW.
The City is evaluating the potential installation and operation of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) at WDAT locations. The City is interested in determining whether BESS could provide operational and economic benefits by reducing energy costs through load and peak- period management, mitigating energy exports/backfeed, and providing other potential capacity, market, or reliability benefits.
The City is seeking a qualified consultant to conduct a comprehensive feasibility study that evaluates the technical, operational, regulatory, and economic viability of BESS deployment and provides recommendations to support the City’s decision on whether to proceed with further development, procurement, and implementation.
