"The Electricity Storage Association is delighted with the CPUC's unanimous landmark decision to pass the proposed energy storage target today. The first of its kind, this decision is a major victory for energy storage and our electricity grid as a whole. As we transition to a true 21st century grid, storage will be essential to making it resilient, efficient, clean and cost-effective. We look forward to working with all stakeholders to achieve these goals, foster innovation and create sustainable jobs," said Darrell Hayslip, Chair of the Electricity Storage Association.
The ESA had provided substantive comments during the Commission's process, giving valuable support and data to the CPUC in support of their decision.

Vecoplan - Planning and implementation of complete processing plants in refuse derived fuel production
In order to reduce the costs involved in the energy-intensive production of cement, many manufacturers are turning to refuse-derived fuels (RDF), considerably reducing the proportion of expensive primary fuels they would normally use. Solid fuels are being increasingly used - these might be used tyres, waste wood or mixtures of plastics, paper, composite materials and textiles. Vecoplan provides operators of cement plants with proven and robust components for conveying the material and separating iron and impurities, efficient receiving stations, storage systems and, of course, efficient shredders for an output in various qualities.
