Last decade saw solar generation boom, natural gas slowdown in California

Data from the California Energy Commission (CEC) highlight California’s continued progress toward building a more resilient grid, achieving 100% clean electricity and meeting the state’s carbon neutrality goals.

Analysis of the state’s Total System Electric Generation report shows how California’s power mix has changed over the last decade. Since 2012:

• Solar generation increased nearly twentyfold from 2,609 gigawatt-hours (GWh) to 48,950 GWh.
• Wind generation grew by 63%.
• Natural gas generation decreased 20%.
• Coal has been nearly phased out of the power mix.
