The 3 now decommissioned plants CA had were good for 2000 MW each. When they were online. Which was about 1/2-2/3 of the time. San Onofre’s shutdown was actually offset by at the time, the worlds largest solar project near Calexico. I recall our state being able to go to 55,000 MW before having to curtail consumption. Now we are declaring an emergency at 43,000 MW (yesterday’s peak, source CAISO website). What we are dealing with here is failed public policy. I agree electrification is a good and noble goal. But it is quite obvious our leaders have declared certain changes necessary without creating a transition strategy. That or their unstated transition plan is a legislatively-induced crisis.
