SACRAMENTO<\/strong> \u2014 New data show California has built out more than 6,600 megawatts (MW) of battery storage, enough electricity to power 6.6 million homes for up to four hours. The total resource is up from 770 MW four years ago and double the amount installed just two years ago, significant progress towards California\u2019s goal of a 100% clean electric grid by 2045.<\/p>\n

As greenhouse gas emissions accelerate\u00a0climate change, energy storage is a critical part of California\u2019s strategy to cut pollution and create a cleaner, more reliable grid \u2013 storing excess\u00a0power from solar, wind, and other renewable sources generated during the day to meet demand in the evening when the sun sets.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

WHAT GOVERNOR NEWSOM SAID:\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cThe more homes and businesses we can power with clean energy, the more we can clean our air and cut pollution. California \u2013 40 million people strong and the 5th biggest economy in the world \u2013 is showing the rest of the globe how to fight climate change while making the grid more reliable and creating new jobs. This is essential to how we fight climate change and protect Californians.\u201d<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
