California has long been a leader in the clean energy transition. But today, the state sits at a crucial crossroads. The early success of renewable energy deployment is creating headwinds to continued progress. High prices, energy shortages during periods of peak demand, curtailments, and the increasing threat of Public Safety Power Shutoffs all amid increasing climate-driven disasters such as heatwaves, wildfires, floods and drought, are raising concerns about the costs and reliability of the state’s energy system. But, there is a path forward that builds on the state’s early success by incorporating new technologies, such as long-duration energy storage, which can quickly enable the deep decarbonization of the Golden State’s energy system while delivering reliability and resiliency in the face of climate threats. Learn more about how reforms to existing systems and new technologies can continue to enable California to continue to lead the global clean energy transition.
