LCG conducted this extensive study of the California market through 2025 using its UPLAN Network Power market Model. UPLAN simulates the hourly operation of California System and provides electricity prices at customer locations and electricity trading hubs throughout California.
The study includes detailed forecasts of load, fuel prices, thermal, renewable and hydro generation, generation expansion and retirement. This analysis takes into consideration the state's 2020 Renewable Portfolio Standard target, reserve margin and ramping requirements, as well as other operational constrains set by California CAISO.
