California’s energy dominance is strong! 54% of the state’s electricity is renewable or emits no greenhouse gases, compared to 40% for the U.S.; the state had 100+ days in 2024 with carbon-free, renewable electricity covering at least part of the day; and California has increased battery capacity by 1,250% to 10,379 megawatts – up from 770 MW pre-pandemic.
These numbers confirm that California has always set the pace for the country in the energy transition. Despite the current political and economic uncertainty and indications of changes and clawbacks affecting equipment pricing, corporate tax rates, and certain IRA provisions, along with new tariffs that will undoubtedly impact the industry, the Golden State’s energy economy continues to grow, and its leaders remain committed to supporting and achieving its clean energy goals.
While the future of energy policy in the U.S. is in flux and much is still unknown, the state’s commitment to decarbonization and to meeting increasing energy demand driven by new data centers, EVs and electrification remains firm. California is busy building up system capacity to handle the necessary generation, storage, transmission and distribution capacity to keep pace. LSEs, project developers, and financiers are jockeying for positions to get ahead of the enormous systemic growth, all while aligning with affordability and deliverability. How is the state’s energy industry navigating uncertain waters? How can you identify the best opportunities, counter the challenges and handle the risks in this dynamic situation?
Infocast’s California Energy Transition Summit 2025 will give you the answers. Its unparalleled faculty of California policymakers, regulators, utility executives, renewable and dispatchable generation developers, financiers, and other experts will provide the best available information on how the California energy markets will look and function. In addition to sharing the strategies being utilized by leading players, the meeting will provide in-depth analysis of up-to-the-minute policy, plans, and initiatives regarding resource adequacy, grid upgrades, project siting, and interconnection. It will lay out information crucial to how best navigate this moment of uncertainty.
This is a must-attend event! Nowhere else will you find a unique forum filled with actionable insights and unparalleled opportunities to network face-to-face with California’s energy leaders. Reserve your seat today!
