Reduce GHG Emissions - Electric GHG Intensity According to CARB, “the GHG intensity of imported power has been declining steadily over time as California imports a greater share of renewable power and divests from long-term coal-fired electricity contracts.” Source: https://ww3.arb.ca.gov/cc/inventory/pubs/reports/2000_2016/ghg_inventory_trends_00-16.pdf Source: CARB’s 2018 Edition, California Greenhouse Gas Emission Inventory: 2000 – 2016
CPUC-Adopted 2018 Preferred System Portfolio: 42 MMT by 2030 Achieves the CPUC-adopted electric sector planning target of 42 MMT by 2030 Contains ~12,000 megawatts of new renewable and storage resources by 2030 Portfolio transmitted to the CAISO for the 2019 Transmission Planning Process
