1. GDP and Population up – Emissions Down

3. Reduce GHG Emissions - Electric
GHG Intensity
According to CARB, “the GHG intensity of imported power has been declining steadily over time as California imports a greater share of renewable power and divests from long-term coal-fired electricity contracts.”

9. Gas and imports support high loads after sun sets
July 25, 2018 peak load: 46,424 MW at 5:27 p.m.
On July 2, 2019 the peak load of 33,300MWs occurred just before 7pm but by 8:30pm the solar resources had faded and the system still needed to serve 32,300MWs
Solar production:
4pm was 10,600MWs
6:55pm was 3,700 MWs
8:30pm was 17 MWs
Note: Peak load day July 25, 2018 has 46,400MW load served by over 50% natural gas during,
Peak load period of hours approximately 15:00 – 20:00
