San Diego Gas & Electric broke ground on the Clairemont microgrid Tuesday, one of four projects the utility has planned at its existing substations.
Once finished, the Clairemont microgrid will be able to provide backup power to San Diego Fire Station 36, Balboa Branch Library and local schools such as Lafayette Elementary, Sequoia Elementary, Innovation and CPMA Middle Schools and Madison High School.
Each microgrid project is paired with energy storage, with the four projects bringing an additional 39 megawatts of battery capacity to the region. SDG&E currently has 95 MW of utility-owned energy storage online, with another 200+ MW in development. As an example, during the 10-day heat wave around Labor Day in September, energy storage, in addition to energy conservation efforts, helped California avoid rotating outages, according to utility officials. California has more than 4,400 MW of batteries, which provided around 4% of the electricity supply during peak demand to help avert rotating outages in September.
San Diego City Councilwoman Jennifer Campbell joined Romero and local business and labor leaders at Tuesday's groundbreaking ceremony.
