    Sep 19, 2024A recent heat wave severely strained California's electrical grid in the Los Angeles area, leading to 24-hour outages as the grid struggled to cope with the high temperatures due to insufficient reliable generating capacity. California has ambitious renewable energy targets: it aims to derive 60 percent of its electricity from renewables, primarily intermittent wind, and solar, by 2030, and ...

    California decided years ago that it would not build any coal-fired power plants and gets just 0.2 percent of its generation from a few coal units it still has on-line. (It should be noted, however, that California consumes electricity from coal generated out of state and imported to southern California-up to 50 percent at times.

    A Brief History of Energy Regulation in California. ... with the option to opt out. In 2010, the first CCA was formed in Marin County. Shortly after, Sonoma County, San Francisco, San Mateo County, Lancaster, Richmond, and parts of Contra Costa County also created CCAs, and by the end of 2017, CCAs were on pace to serve almost 1 million ...

    The California wildfires are raising the risk of more electric-power blackouts because smoke and ash particles can block sunlight and settle on solar photovoltaic panels. California politicians have mandated that 60 percent of the state's power must come from renewable energy by 2030 and 100 percent by 2045. ... and are clearly laid out in ...

    California's blackouts are a product of its politically-determined reliance on intermittent, unreliable renewable energy, not a product of a heatwave. So far, California's environmental policies have resulted in 1.3 million megawatt-hours of reliable power being curtailed this year. Due to the state's renewable portfolio standard and its ...

    California has a mandate to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030. To meet that requirement, the state needs to cut emissions about 4.3 percent annually — about 2.5 times its 2019 reduction level. It was expected that part of those goals would be met by closing the state's natural gas plants.

    California's rapid and ongoing growth of intermittent resources like wind and solar has flourished, while baseload and dispatchable resources have declined. Findings … the three primary causal factors were related to resource planning targets that "have not kept pace" with the changing resource mix, leading to insufficient resources ...

    The Act did not achieve its desired goal, however. When the tsunami hit Japan at the Fukushima nuclear power plant in 2011, Germany decided to also phase out its nuclear units. As a result, Germany has had to turn to coal to stabilize its electric grid, increasing its greenhouse gas emissions in recent years.
