In its vote to adopt a Preferred System Portfolio, the California Public Utility Commission is pushing a strong renewable energy agenda.
The planned portfolio includes up to 12,000 MW of new solar, wind, battery storage and geothermal power generation capacity that the state will need to procure by 2030 to meet ambitious greenhouse gas reduction goals.
As part of the planned 12 GW in new renewable energy additions, 1,700 MW of new geothermal power generation capacity will have to be developed. This means that California would add more than 60% in capacity to existing geothermal power plants.
