Summary

Description

In California wholesale electricity markets, natural gas-fired electricity generation helps to balance fluctuations in electricity demand with daily cycles in solar-powered electricity generation. Natural gas and solar are the two most prevalent sources of electricity generation in California; however, solar generation is non-dispatchable. Grid operators in the state use natural gas and, to a lesser extent, hydroelectricity and electricity imports from neighboring areas to balance changes in electricity demand. <a href="https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=46236" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=46236</a>
