a thing of the past. The US state of California is exploring options for developing a regional energy grid to help address issues with curtailment of renewable energy supply. In the US, there are currently no plans in place to build any new nuclear power plants and only one proposed plant has been built since 2000. However, curtailment of wind and solar doubled between then and 2017, wasting enough energy to power 56,000 homes. A proposal now before the state legislature would establish a regionalised energy grid which its proponents say would help control the problem.
