    @Amgine @bazcook I’d be very skeptical of that 100% renewable claim. I see no evidence of that in the 2026 CAISO California dataset. That said that dataset only shows supply not load. So it is possible for short periods of time that renewables exceeded load. However there are no sustained points in that dataset where fossil generation was suspended.

    Yes, never a moment without instant-on backups. And, despite the pumped hydro, they only report storage data on CAISO of the lithium storage - only 16.5 GWh.

    Meanwhile, Australia is reducing projections in WEM due to homeowner solar and storage, which I think is terribly risky. What if WA has a social protest and they all choose to unplug their production/storage?
