  • The analysis finds that no new natural gas capacity is needed to maintain grid reliability in California through 2030. Depending on carbon caps and the use of battery storage to meet local capacity requirements (LCR), between 28 and 56 of the 89 modeled natural gas plants could be retired. While overall natural gas generation decreases, the report warns that remaining plants may cycle on and off more frequently, potentially increasing NOx emissions and harming air quality in nearby disadvantaged communities.
