Abstract
⺠We analyze the effects on California's power system during peak load caused by climate change induced higher temperatures. ⺠Based on climate scenarios, warming and associated peak demand increase would necessitate additional generation and transmission capacity. ⺠Additional peak capacity can reach 38% for generation and 31% for transmission, assuming current infrastructure. ⺠We propose adaptation measures to cope with lower capacity to attend peak demand.
