This article was published by the US Energy Information Administration on May 31, 2025. By Lori Aniti The California Independent System Operator (CAISO), the grid operator for most of the state, is increasingly curtailing solar- and wind-powered electricity generation as it balances supply and demand amidst rapid renewables capacity growth. Data source: California Independent System Operator Grid operators must balance supply and demand to maint…
The cut-off - the intentional reduction of energy production - continues to increase for both solar and wind energy in the state. Network operators have the task of balancing electricity supply and demand to ensure a stable and secure electrical system. When power generation significantly exceeds demand, operators must intentionally reduce production in a process called discharge. In California, the cut-off of solar energy has been increasing fo…
