California Sets New Renewable Energy Record in 2023

Recent data from the California Energy Commission highlights California's achievement of a new renewable energy milestone in 2023, with 67% of its retail electricity supply coming from wind, hydropower, solar, and other renewable sources. This marks an increase from 61% in 2022 and surpasses the previous record of 64% set in 2019. The progress aligns with the state's efforts to combat climate change, following the enactment of a law by former Governor Jerry Brown aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution. As California leads by example, the adoption of eco-friendly technologies, including electric vehicles, is expected to play a pivotal role in the transition towards a more sustainable energy future.
