A clean and resilient energy future for Californians

Legislation
Focus on bills which support an equitable transition to clean energy to benefit all Californians and create market certainty while meeting California’s 2030 heat pump target and 2045 carbon neutrality goal. SB 1221 will enable the state to pursue zero-emission alternatives such as neighborhood-scale decarbonization and thermal energy networks in a way that prioritizes and maximizes benefits for low-income households and California workers to ensure long-term energy affordability and responsible utility investments. AB 593 will support California in creating its first strategic plan to decarbonize buildings to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by aligning state funding, policy, programs, and agencies.

Regulation
Advocate for clean air, reduced emissions, and energy affordability throughout the state, prioritizing low- and moderate-income Californians and the state’s workforce. Clean Energy Financing can help ensure accessibility for low- and moderate-income households to make the electric transition more affordable. The Building Decarbonization Proceeding can empower the state to pilot neighborhood-scale decarbonization where it is cost-effective, supporting long-term energy affordability and smart infrastructure investments in a way that prioritizes disadvantaged communities while benefiting California ratepayers. Advancing statewide appliance standards that phase out the sale of gas appliances will encourage the adoption of zero-emission appliances like heat pumps for space and water heating.
