Solar Surpasses Gas in California
Description
California’s solar power has officially surpassed natural gas as the top electricity source, powering the grid for 82% of days so far this year — a historic first for the nation’s largest solar market. Even amid political headwinds favoring fossil fuels, solar outpaced coal for the first time ever in May, signaling unstoppable momentum. With ambitious goals to hit carbon neutrality by 2045, California has installed more solar and storage than any other state, driving a 19% jump in utility-scale solar capacity while gas capacity stagnates. This isn’t just talk — it’s infrastructure in motion, setting a powerful blueprint for the nation’s energy future.
