Battery Storage Curbs California's Natural Gas Demand -- Market Talk

Dow Jones06-04 22:39

1038 ET - California's high utility-scale battery storage capacity is limiting the state's call on natural-gas fired electricity to meet demand when solar generation falls off, East Daley Analytics says in a note. "California's battery component is proving particularly effective at displacing gas load," the energy intelligence firm says. "Early trends in the 2026 summer suggest the transition to solar and batteries continues to eat away at gas use." Although battery storage initially manages the evening rise in electricity demand, gas-fired generation remains critical to maintain reliability after battery discharge tapers later in the night, East Daley adds.
