With improved hydro conditions, increased capacity and 2,800 megawatts of backup contingency resources for the next extreme event, state officials say no electricity shortfalls are expected in 2023.
ORINDA, Calif. --It was just last Sept. when California's power grid was stretched to its limit amid a 10-day heat wave, reaching a record high of more than 52,000 megawatts and people across the state were urged to conserve or face potential blackouts.
Rolling blackouts last experienced back in 2020 during extreme heat, were narrowly avoided last year but this week, officials from the California Energy Commission say the state is much better prepared as we head into the summer."I'm really happy today to let you all know that the summer outlook is looking much better than we anticipated," Gunda said.
"This year, we predict no shortfalls under average conditions, this is because of the extraordinary efforts of agencies to bring online new resources and also because of better than expected hydro conditions due to the atmospheric rivers this winter which are providing a boost in the supply," he said.
But as the state pushes toward its goal of all new cars being electric by 2035 and hitting a milestone of selling more than 1.5 million electric vehicles statewide earlier this year, Governor Gavin Newsom says the long-term investments to the grid are coming.
