This challenging backdrop created an energy supply deficit equal to seven per cent of Europe's total power demand in 2022, but a combination of lower electricity demand, mild weather, and record growth in wind and solar power helped avoid a major return to coal power generation, the report revealed.

California and other states are pushing to use clean electricity to power vehicles and buildings to cut carbon, which will increase demand. And the state’s last nuclear power plant and numerous coastal gas power plants are facing retirement. THE BIG RETHINK.

Electricity demand for air conditioning throughout the region stretched California's power capacity and limited the state's ability to import power from nearby states. “That solar resource is fading fast, and we have to ramp up other resources quickly to meet that net peak event.”

Those include major expansions of wind and solar power , more energy storage to manage that intermittent supply — and, on the demand side of the equation, programs that can turn utility customers from passive consumers into active grid-balancing participants. Having smart meters is only the first step, however.

Dominion’s Virginia generation portfolio today is roughly one-third natural gas, one-third nuclear and one-quarter coal, with just over 5 percent ascribed to renewable energy, much of it hydropower and biomass. The first step toward meeting these goals will come through its renewable energy and energy storage request for proposals.
