Opening Comments on the Proposed Decision on the 2019-2020 Resource Portfolios to Inform Integrated Resource Plans and Transmission Planning
On March 12, the CHBC submitted its opening comments to the CPUC regarding the R.16-02-007 proceeding on the Proposed Decision on the 2019-2020 Resource Portfolios. The comments focused on three aspects of the PD:
- Agree with the inclusion of roughly 1 GW of long duration storage by 2026 as part of the portfolio in the 2030 resource plan in the PD and hopethat moving forward, green electrolytic hydrogen storage will be part of program planning.
- Support the continued consideration of hydrogen, including a high hydrogen scenario, in long term planning.
- Appreciate that lessons from other Commission proceedings on microgrids and distributed generation will be considered for incorporation into this proceeding.
