Comparative analysis reveals different sustainability trajectories despite similar renewable outcomes in Texas and California, indicating governance impacts.

Key Points

The study investigates how different energy transition pathways affect renewable electricity outcomes and sustainability.
Comparative system-level analysis of California and Texas energy transitions
Assessment of renewable electricity growth, energy demand, and carbon intensity
Evaluation of institutional design impacts on decarbonization outcomes
Both Texas and California achieved similar renewable electricity generation levels but differed in energy demand management and fossil fuel displacement.
Market-led pathways in Texas resulted in higher energy demand and less effective coordination than California's policy-led approach.
California's approach integrated renewable expansion with demand management, leading to more significant emissions reductions.
