It's that time of year when we get the mailer telling us what the mix of sources was for our power.

2021 Residential Rate Comparison, ETOUC*
Electric Power Generation Mix (% of Total Retail Sales (MWh))
So what's yours? I actually get 3Cprime which is only a cent or two higher than the baseline listed here, which then goes to pay for solar installation elsewhere in the grid (replacing my hydro mix). There's a troubling 13%, but part of that is because our grid is a subset, far away from most generation, a bunch of our energy comes as extra spot-purchasing which may jus be energy credits rather than specific generator purchases. That's why they're putting the biggest battery facility in NA in Moss Landing, which is inside the central coast communities service area.
