PG&E Issues Energy Storage RFI
Pacific Gas and Electric Company (“PG&E”) announced plans to issue an Energy Storage Request for Information (“RFI” or “Solicitation”) on October 9, 2012.
The issuance of this RFI is an opportunity for PG&E to learn about different storage technologies, operational capabilities, stage of development, and costs. The RFI will help PG&E to establish a better understanding of the storage technologies that could bid into a future RFO.
