Description (excerpt):
This policy report is a companion resource to the technical report, providing California policymakers with a set of no–regrets actions to effectively implement reliability insights from the technical analysis. Our recommendations show that policymakers can mitigate the risk of deploying resources too slowly, reduce the air pollution impacts of legacy natural gas power plants on disadvantaged communities (DACs), and foster resource diversity that improves reliability and reduces the amount of new power generation resources required to serve Californians.
