Gas-Fired Power Plants: A Critical Component
According to the CEO of Edison International, California must maintain gas-fired power plants to ensure a reliable power supply. As the state aims for ambitious climate goals, advanced geothermal and natural gas with carbon capture technologies will play pivotal roles in the transition.
The Future of California's Power Grid
- Climate Goals by 2045: California is set to achieve significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.
- Firm Clean Power: Gas-fired power sources provide the stability needed during this transition.
- Advanced Geothermal: Provides a renewable resource, necessary for a balanced energy mix.
As the state progresses towards its climate initiatives, the preservation of existing gas infrastructure will be vital in ensuring energy reliability during peak demands and transitioning to greener alternatives.
