The California Energy Commission voted to extend the life of 3 gas power plants through 2026, postponing a shutoff deadline previously set for the end of this year.
“We need to move faster in incorporating renewable energy. We need to move faster at incorporating battery storage. We need to build out chargers faster,” commissioner Patricia Monahan said. “We’re working with all the energy institutions to do that, but we are not there yet.”
