Dan Gearino's analysis attributes the shift to utility-scale solar buildout, battery energy storage, regional grid efficiency improvements, consumer rooftop solar and batteries, and intentional state policy to reduce carbon emissions—though some policies like rooftop solar net metering rules have hurt the industry.
“Natural gas is fading from California's electricity mix more quickly than seemed possible just a few years ago.”

Sorry, from AI but I read an article that reflected the below. So not as easy as one would think. Key Disadvantages High Initial Costs: Building cantilevered or suspension structures over water requires significantly more specialized steel, concrete, and engineering than standard ground-mounted solar farms. Maintenance Obstructions: Heavy…

# California # USA # US First, California built an immense amount of utility-scale solar. Then, the state built a whole lot of battery energy storage to soak up that solar. At the same time, grid operators in California and neighboring regions found ways to share electricity more efficiently Consumers did their part by installing rooftop solar and…
