Great day for the California grid yesterday. Record battery output kept imports down and gas around 2MW into the night. Compare shortest day of last year, where gas was 9-13MW and imports 3-5MW all day.

1. GW, not MW

2. The year over year difference is stark. 

   That’s what happens when you’re pressing forward on all fronts. 

3. I love when we see direct data showing fossil fuel demise 🥰

4. And stupid stories keep claiming this is a ‘problem’ because there is too much solar PV.

   No. It is an OPPORTUNITY for more batteries, transmission, pumped hydro, electric vehicles, thermal storage, etc.
