California has set records for renewable energy capacity, adding 7,000 megawatts of clean energy in the last year alone. Total additions since 2020 have reached approximately 25,000 megawatts, mirroring daily electricity consumption. Despite this rapid growth and ambitious future projects, the state faces challenges due to potential federal policies under the Trump administration that could hinder infrastructure development. California aims for 20,000 megawatts of new projects by 2030 and 75,000 by 2040 while evolving energy sources become increasingly cost-effective compared to fossil fuels.
We've never added so much capacity to our grid in such a short amount of time.
California now generates more than 50 percent of its electricity from renewables. That's more than the US as a whole, which gets about 20 percent.
