In the hours before Californians were told to cut back or face blackouts on Sept. 6, the state’s grid operator allowed much of the backup battery power supplies to be sold off to the highest bidder, according to data reviewed by the Investigative Unit.
CAISO CEO Elliot Mainzer said the battery suppliers were simply responding to the market.
In the end, four battery suppliers capable of providing 330 megawatts were instructed to stop selling power at about 4:30 p.m. on Sept. 6, according to a statement issued by Cal ISO. Operator data shows battery supplies were held back starting just after 5 p.m., before ramping up again as the sun went down.
Over the two following days, grid operators intervened with more exceptional dispatch orders to battery power suppliers a total of 26 times, Cal ISO said in a statement. “I don't think it really means that this storage was doing anything wrong,’’ said Alex Morris, whose alliance represents battery power suppliers. “It was just seeing prices that were so significant during the day.”
