California Utility to Close State's Last Nuclear Plant, Replace it With Solar and Wind

Pacific Gas & Electric, which owns the Diablo Canyon facility, will allow the operating licenses for the site's two 1,100 megawatt reactors to lapse in 2024 and 2025, rather than seek a costly 20-year extension from regulators.  The utility plans to replace the facility with 100 percent renewable energy: not only wind and solar projects but batteries to store the electricity generated by the solar panels and wind turbines, energy efficiency incentives for customers, and a demand response program that compensates customers to cut back on their consumption during peak hours.
