The CEC takes MCE’s monthly peak demand estimates and adjusts values based on the California system peak demand. California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC): The CPUC receives adjusted peak demand data from the CEC and annually provides MCE with its monthly Resource Adequacy (RA) requirements. California Independent System Operator (CAISO): The CAISO develops RA requirements for the entire California system, including local areas, on an annual basis. 18 Creating a Clean, Reliable Grid 19 MCE requires battery storage on all new local solar projects More than 325MW of battery storage under contract Distributed Energy Resources - MCE Virtual Power Plant (2025) As MCE continues to plan for increased electrical load, we are investing in battery storage both locally and on a utility-scale. These projects allow us to store solar energy produced during the day for use during peak hours of 4 - 9 p.m. and increases access to renewable energy while improving grid reliability. Projects such as MCE’s Daggett, Golden Fields, Humidor, and Ranch Sereno will collectively supply over 325 MW of utility scale solar + storage, enough to power approximately 133,000 homes. 19 Infrastructural Planning 20 CAISO conducts annual transmission planning process to identify potential system limitations and areas that need reinforcements over a 10-year horizon. “The annual planning process, set out in CAISO’s federal tariff, provides for the approval of new transmission infrastructure and triggers permitting and construction activities.” Plan is closely coordinated with CPUC and CEC.
