Two years ago, Gov. Jerry Brown signed an ambitious law
ordering California utility companies to get 50
percent of their electricity from renewable sources by 2030.
It looks like they may hit that goal a decade ahead of
schedule.
An annual
report issued Monday by California regulators found that the state’s
three big, investor-owned utilities — Pacific Gas and Electric Co., Southern
California Edison and San Diego Gas & Electric Co. — are collectively on
track to reach the 50 percent milestone by 2020, although individual companies
could exceed the mark or fall just short of it.
