California has a very large solar footprint when it comes to power generation, and accordingly utility companies and facilities need energy storage on a large scale.  Current energy storage lags current needs in the state and as more and more solar is added, this situation within the power grid will exacerbate. Facilities managers need to consider energy storage options sooner rather than later, in order to meet the electrical needs of their buildings and to efficiently control costs. This session will provide an overview of the topic.
