,
The CAISO set a new solar peak generation record for the third month in a row, as solar output has reached the highest level on record so far this month.

The California Independent System Operator set a new solar peak generation record for the third month in a row, as solar output has reached the highest level on record so far this month.

The new record of 15.178 GW was reached at 12:11 pm PT June 2, surpassing the previous record from May 23 by 72 MW, according to the latest CAISO Key Statistics report published June 12.

The records come as no surprise since CAISO solar capacity continues to rise, even if the increase is slower than expected, Morris Greenberg, a senior manager with the low-carbon electricity team at S&P Global, said June 13.
