The California 2030 Low Carbon Grid Study (LCGS), funded by the Center for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Technologies (CEERT) explores how the California electric sector can cost-effectively support deep reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. According to Phase I modeling results, the California electric grid can reduce emissions by more than 50% below 2012 levels by the year 2030 with minimal rate impact, minimal curtailment to renewables, and without compromising reliability. These findings are significant because they illustrate an affordable, reliable, and practical trajectory toward meeting California's ambitious 2050 GHG emissions goals.
