In california, we export (and store in batteries) energy during the

hours.  During the day, about half of our electricity comes from solar.

It's been great - during the 9 day heat wave (100teens every day

a surplus generation capacity of about 11Gw every day.  Much
of what we import at night comes from northwest hydro.

As I type this, the state demand is 32,007 mw, solar provides
18,309 mw, CH4 provides 8,024mw, and 4,851 mw is being used to
charge batteries for this evening and we're importing 2028 mw.

Sure, although a google search for cal iso supply might be rewarding.

Well that could be because the Texas version might not be intended to be usable by the public....  :P
