>Over the past year, solar generation surpassed natural gas to become California’s leading source of electricity, a milestone expected to persist.
Data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), processed by Ember’s US Electricity Data Explorer, shows that in the 12 months ending April 2025, solar generated 83.1 terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity, compared to 81.6 TWh from natural gas.
