NEW YORK, Nov. 25 (Xinhua) -- California is making so much solar energy that large commercial operators are increasingly forced to stop production, raising questions about the state's costly plan to shift entirely to carbon-free sources of electricity, reported The Los Angeles Times on Monday.
"In the last 12 months, California's solar farms have curtailed production of more than 3 million megawatt hours of solar energy, either on the orders of the state's grid operator or because prices had plummeted because of the glut," the report cited an analysis of data. That's enough to power 518,000 California homes for a year, based on average electricity usage.
Uh-oh! Daily quota reached.
