A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA DECLINING TO
ESTABLISH 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, 2017, 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,
HEREBY RESOLVES:
SECTION 1. The City declines 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 will 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.
