A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA APPROVING TO
DECLINE ESTABLISHING A PROCUREMENT TARGET FOR
ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEMS FOR THE RANCHO
CUCAMONGA MUNICIPAL UTILITY
WHEREAS, the State of California established Assembly Bill (AB) 2514 requiring that
the governing board of a local publicly owned utility initiate a process to determine appropriate
targets, if any, for the utility to procure viable and cost effective energy storage systems to be
achieved by December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2021; and
WHEREAS, AB 2514 also requires that the governing board adopt any procurement
targets for energy storage systems, if it is determined to be appropriate and cost effective, by
October 1, 2014 and report this information to the California Energy Commission; and
WHEREAS, the Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Utility is a publicly owned utility in the
State of California and is therefore subject to AB 2514 and reporting requirements; and
WHEREAS, based on information and factors analyzed by the City, the City has
concluded that the available options of energy storage systems are currently not cost effective
and do not meet the needs of the Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Utility. The City has
determined to decline establishing a procurement target for energy storage; and
WHEREAS, AB 2514 requires the City to reevaluate this determination at least once
every three years and report to the California Energy Commission; and
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA
DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The City decline establishing a procurement target for energy
storage pursuant to AB 2514 due to the lack of cost-effective energy storage
options; and
SECTION 2. The City reevaluate the decision to decline establishing a
procurement target for energy storage, at least once every three years and report
the findings to the California Energy Commission; and
SECTION 3. This resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption.
