The exact figure of ~30 ¢/kWh for California does not appear in any source found for the relevant (most recent pre-session) period; the only California source located gives 33.82-35.25 ¢/kWh (April 2025-April 2026), which is >10% above the claimed value.
The claim does not specify a period or an end-use sector (residential vs. commercial/industrial vs. all-sector average). The figures quoted correspond most closely to residential retail prices, which are the highest category.
The framing of California as 'the state where more green energy is produced' is misleading: Texas, not California, generates the most renewable electricity (wind and utility-scale solar) in the United States, so the causal implication that green energy leadership drives high prices is not supported by the state comparison used.
The EIA primary table (Table 5.6.A) was located for Texas (15.88 / 15.36 ¢/kWh) but the California column value could not be retrieved from the snippet; California's figure rests on a single secondary source (NRG Clean Power citing EIA).
Sources disagree on the precise Texas value (14.47 ¢/kWh on ElectricChoice, 14.74 ¢/kWh on CTRM Center, 15.36-15.88 ¢/kWh on EIA), reflecting different periods and methodologies.
