California has made major strides in the energy transition from carbon-based fuels to a power supply that is zero emissions by 2045. Governor Gavin Newsom issued an annual report underlining the progress, remarking that the state is“on pace”to reach the goal of 100% clean energy by 2045.
The transition is well underway, with nearly 35 GW of renewable resources already supplying power to the grid, 9 GW of which came online in the last 3 years. In just over 20 years, the Governor’s office predicts a need for an additional 148 GW to meet California’s clean energy demand.
