In 2007, geothermal energy in our state produced 13,000 gigawatt-hours of electricity. Combined with another 440 GWh of imported geothermal electricity, then geothermal energy produced 4.5 percent of the state's total system power. A total of 43 operating geothermal power plants with an installed capacity of nearly 1,800 megawatts are in California, about two-thirds of the total United States' geothermal generation.

The largest power potential from wind in the spring, summer, and fall typically occurs in the evening and early morning when the regional load demand is not at its peak. Although the wind resource peak power potential does not coincide with the peak of the regional load demand, wind can still be used to meet some of the Region’s energy needs. Figure 4.1 illustrates the seasonal hourly wind potential.

While California’s per capita electricity consumption has held steady for three decades, per capita gross state product (GSP) has doubled.  This shows that California’s economy has become less reliant on energy to produce goods and services

The Rosenfeld Effect

Rosenfeld founded a group that became the lab's Center for Building Science. Research on the miniaturization of electronic ballasts in fluorescent lamps led to the development of the first compact fluorescent lamps. The center also developed low-emissivity windows as well as computer programs for the energy analysis and design of buildings.Though electricity demand nationwide has risen sharply in recent years, California's per capita electricity use has remained relatively flat since 1973 because of the state's strict energy-efficiency regulations.
