Energy in California
California's peak electricity demand occurred on July 24, 2006, at 2:44 pm, 50,270 Megawatts. Since then measures to reduce peak load have resulted in decreased peak demand. In 2011, the peak load was 45,545 MW, on September 7.〔(California ISO Peak Load History )〕 By 2020 California is required to obtain at least 33% of electricity from renewable sources other than large hydro.〔(Renewables and demand response integration )〕 The legislature is considering new regulations in 2013 which would compel utilities to invest in energy storage technology, the first such legislation in the United States.〔(''California poised to adopt first-in-nation energy storage mandate'', ''San Jose Mercury News'', October 16, 2013 )〕
, 33.0% of electricity was imported, and of that, 45.4% was of unspecified origin.
==Resources and consumption==
California’s crude oil and natural gas deposits are located in six geological basins in the Central Valley and along the coast. California has more than a dozen of the United States' largest oil fields, including the Midway-Sunset Oil Field, the second largest oil field in the contiguous United States. California’s hydroelectric power potential ranks second in the United States (behind Washington State), and substantial geothermal and wind power resources are found along the coastal mountain ranges and the eastern border with Nevada. High solar power potential is found in southeastern California’s deserts.
California is the most populous state in the nation, but its total energy demand is second to the state of Texas. The state has one of the lowest per capita energy consumption rates in the country due in part to the relatively mild weather comparative to the rest of the nation.
