California has become a global leader in renewable energy, pioneering ambitious policies and investments that have rapidly scaled up sources like solar, wind, and geothermal across the state. Just two decades ago, renewables played a very minor role in California’s energy mix. Yet driven by both environmental and economic factors, the Golden State has undergone a dramatic transition that has seen California's renewable energy expand exponentially even as its economy grew substantially. Renewable energy now accounts for over a third of California’s electricity generation, up from just 11% in 2009. The state has enacted ambitious renewable portfolio standards, impactful efficiency programs, and pioneering legislation to reduce carbon emissions. This transformative shift has yielded considerable environmental payoffs in...
