What a difference a year makes

California grid.

From https://www.caiso.com/todays-outlook/supply

SunZia wind coming online, plus more solar, batteries, interconnect, etc is reducing evening gas consumption on the CA grid to a tenth of what it was just a year ago on many days.

Click around, I didn't cherry pick a day. Like 20 June 2026 didn't even have natural gas break above 1GW all day long (basically idling at ~650MW all day).
