Fusion42 · 23 October 2026 · Fusion42 review

Wholesale electricity prices in California and Texas have fallen dramatically by 51% and 42% respectively between 2021 and 2026 due to rapid expansion of solar generation and battery storage, resulting in billions in savings. However, rising transmission and distribution costs have caused consumer electricity bills to increase despite lower generation costs.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Climate Tech, and 5 sources have reported it.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Solar and battery growth has forced wholesale power prices down sharply, forcing you to rethink power procurement and cost structure in Texas and California. Transmission and distribution costs are your next barrier, so explore solutions there before consumer bills start pushing back.
