California Grid Runs on 100% Renewables for Record 98 Days

A new study reveals that California's main grid ran on over 100% renewable energy (wind, water, solar) for a record 98 out of 116 days in 2024, without blackouts or increased costs. Solar output surged 31%, wind power rose 8%, and battery storage saw a staggering 105% increase, supplying up to 12% of nighttime demand. The study debunks the myth that renewables cause high electricity prices, attributing California's high costs to other factors. The findings demonstrate the feasibility and reliability of large-scale renewable energy grids, offering a compelling case for global clean energy transition.
