California is harnessing solar power thanks to a big battery boom, providing a glimpse into Australia's energy future​

It's not just crystals getting charged in California. In the Golden State, famous for its clifftop mansions, wellness culture and iconic Hollywood hills, big batteries are now setting global trends by transforming the energy system.

California has seen exponential growth in large-scale battery storage in the last five years, offering crystal ball gazing into what Australia's electricity system could look like in a few years' time.

For the first time ever, California's batteries took over gas as the primary source for supplying evening power demand in April, providing "akin to the output from seven large nuclear reactors" one evening, according to the New York Times.

These records were broken in the Californian spring, when there was plenty of sunshine without the summer heat that causes people to turn on the air-conditioning and consume more power, but it's a sign of the shift underway.
