California imports a lot of electricity (18% of consumption at this moment) so we can be affected by what's going on in nearby states (particularly in the Pacific NW where we draw a lot of hydropower from). Installed generating capacity is probably down from 2006 too. Electricity usage is flat or declining and old coal power stations have been phased out in CA.
