California Has Plenty of Electricity, It’s Just Not Being Used

We can make our grid stronger by integrating more resilient distributed resources such as flexible load, solar and batteries into California’s wholesale electricity markets.

The problems with our aging centralized grid are not just limited to California. In 2012, Hurricane Sandy knocked out power for 2.7 million people in New Jersey. Eight years later, Isaias, which was much weaker, caused blackouts for 1.4 million people. This was after years of investigations and purported grid improvements that cost ratepayers billions of dollars.

How does the availability of more flexibility and DR play into the stormy regions? Is it about incentivizing more DERs that can keep lights on while the grid is restored?

Yes, it has ,but scattered here and there. One can assume a capacity factor of storage batteries in a range of 0.5-0.6 only.
