TAS Energy will be the newest member of CESA’s steering committee.
CESA executive director Janice Lin said TAS Energy’s Generation Storage technology provides energy storage directly to gas power plants thereby improving power output and environmental performance during the peak summer hours.
"Generation Storage™ is already widely deployed in the commercial marketplace outside California, and it’s high time for California to also benefit," said Lin.
"Additionally, TAS Energy deploys thermal energy storage with their high efficiency cooling systems for demand side customers, further helping California with summer peak needs."
"Companies like TAS are a key component of delivering California’s and CESA’s vision for a more reliable, affordable and cleaner electric power system."
TAS Energy president Michael Brady said the company has commercially deployed thermal energy storage technologies to enhance the power capacity of gas turbines and to meet the customer demand by servicing the air conditioning market.
"Fortunately, storage is now receiving attention and enthusiasm from lawmakers and regulators for its many benefits, largely due to CESA’s work," said Brady.
"We appreciate their tireless advocacy efforts, and the seriousness with which the California Public Utilities Commission is working to fully value the benefits of energy storage."
" This will significantly improve the electric power marketplace and help effect a more reliable and efficient electric grid."
