Targeted electrification could allow decommissioning of up to 10% of gas mains but is no silver bullet for solving the gas cost challenge, researchers say.  

A recent study found that deploying 37 GW of long-duration energy storage could help bring California to zero emissions by 2045.

Communities historically excluded from decisions around energy use must be given a greater role in the transition to a cleaner energy system, said participants at the CEC-Stanford Energy Innovation Summit.

At least 44 California cities now automate permitting for residential rooftop solar projects, following passage of a state law last year requiring them to adopt a permitting platform.

Load flexibility is the fastest and cheapest way to prepare for rising electricity demand, panel participants at a CEC-EPRI conference said.

Nine of the world's largest makers of building heating and cooling equipment have signed on to support California's goal of having 6 million new electric heat pumps by 2030.

Natural gas made up the largest share of California’s electric generation mix in 2022, but solar is accounting for a growing percentage, as the state works toward 100% clean energy by 2045.
