California's power grid has reached a point where renewables meet 56% of demand, and the state runs on clean energy for nearly one-fifth of all hours. The figures highlight how far the state's shift toward solar, wind and other renewable sources has progressed. Observers point to it as a benchmark for grid decarbonisation efforts elsewhere, while debates continue over reliability and storage needs as renewable shares climb.
