Since the 2006 passage of AB 32, which set ambitious greenhouse gas reduction goals, the state has experienced frequent power outages… We've had frequent power outages since before then. It's really since the passage of CEQA, and the corresponding lack of construction of power generation that is the root of the problem. Further limitations on power generation aren't doing much when we weren't going to get it in the first place. Couple that with Califormia's whether, where years with average heat and rainfall are uncommon, instead swapping back and forth between extremes every few years, and about every decade you get a summer so hot that we don't have enough power generation to run everyone's air conditioners.
