CES2G, also known as the Commercial Energy Storage to Grid pilot program, is the nation’s first municipal utility vehicle-to-grid (V2G) and energy storage-to-grid program. This pilot program enables electric vehicles to send power back to the electric grid, converting them to mobile batteries. This program allows LADWP to take any unused energy and give it back to the electric grid, or store it for later use so we use less fossil fuels and achieve greater grid reliability. LADWP will make available 20 megawatts (MW) of power capacity through separately metered systems connecting batteries or EV charging stations to the power grid.Three tranches will be introduced for the available 20 MW capacity. Additional tranches may be created if there is leftover capacity after each tranche concludes.
