The Generation Network covers the breadth of power generation for utilities - from nuclear, coal, and natural gas to solar, wind, and wave and more.
Balancing global supply and demand will be needed from an energy efficiency as well as generation perspective. Many utilities are moving to 30-50% renewable portfolios without cost-effective utility scale power storage which is needed to be dispatchable to align with demand. China, Russia, India and other countries implementation of similar US goals and cost-effective storage will be...

SDG&E's parent company, Sempra Inc., also owns the gas franchise importing all that gas from another Sempra franchise in Texas, on a...
Here's a great example just posted to Energy Central from SDG&E: SDG&E Pledges to Reach Net Zero GHG Emissions By 2045 Is your utility taking similar steps? And how are you ensuring they are followed through until delivery?
