on Wed. April 19, 2017. Overall, renewables accounted for 42 percent of the California grid’s power on Saturday, not counting the large hydropower plants.“The fact that the grid can handle 67 percent renewable power from multiple sources — it’s a great moment, and it shows the potential we have,” said Sachu Constantine, the director of policy at the Center for Sustainable Energy, a nonprofit clean energy advisory firm in Berkeley.

“That shows how our grid is shifting from the old paradigm, the old grid we used to have,” he said. Thus the new inventory may report a different emission level for an earlier year than previous inventory editions.The California GHG inventory is categorized in three ways:The table below provides a crosswalk among the three categorization schemes.Download a detailed list of all fuel combustion data used to calculate the GHG emissions by sector and activity. The categorization in this workbook matches the "Economic Sector Categorization" inventory spreadsheet above.The CARB Regulation for the Mandatory Reporting of GHG Emissions (MRR) is a primary data source for the statewide inventory but emissions are categorized differently in the two programs. on Wed.

These energy sources are plentiful, sustainable, naturally replenished and good to the environment. Last year, California's three large electric utilities collectively Saturday’s numbers are the latest benchmark in what is expected to be a record-setting year for renewable energy production in California, because of the growing number of solar power plants in the state, the seasonal increase in sunshine and the flush hydroelectricity reserves produced by last winter’s rain.

A renewable energy source is any natural resource that can replace it quickly and dependably. Early Saturday afternoon, renewable sources produced a record 67.2 percent of the electricity on the portion of the state’s power grid controlled by the California Independent System Operator.

Unlike most breweries that use natural gas, Electric Brewing Co. uses electricity to make its popular beer. The ISO’s numbers do not even account for electricity from rooftop solar arrays. “The solar records in particular are falling like dominoes.” It is possible, Greenlee said, that the state could cross the 70 percent threshold for renewable production this summer.

The California ISO is monitoring COVID-19 developments, and is taking proactive steps to protect staff, customers, community, and the electric grid. A stretch of sunny, windy days, combined with brimming reservoirs at hydroelectric plants across the state, helped California reach a renewable energy milestone last weekend.

In concert with data collected through various California Global Warming Solutions Act (AB 32) programs, the GHG inventory is a critical piece in demonstrating the state's progress in achieving the statewide GHG target.
