Description
Description | The California Independent System Operator (CAISO) is managing increasing curtailments of solar and wind energy due to rapid growth in renewable energy capacity, grid congestion, oversupply, and reliability requirements. The state has expanded its solar and wind capacity from 9.7 GW in 2014 to 28.2 GW by 2024. CAISO is implementing measures such as energy trading with neighboring grids, adding battery storage, planning new transmission lines, and developing new business models like hydrogen production to reduce curtailments. |
