Thank you SanDiegoCounty leaders for your votes today in support of battery energy storage. Clean energy providers remain committed to ensuring these facilities remain safe and reliable as they help San Diego transition to a 100% clean power system. voiceofsandiego.org/2024/09/11/now…

Batteries briefly supplied more power than the Diablo Canyon nuclear plant when California stood on the brink of blackouts in Sept 2022, Senator John Laird notes in a new op-ed. Laird says he's working with firefighters and electricians on new standards to improve safety and prevent

Clean energy “has been a good source of excellent jobs for IBEW and other unions in California,” Hunter Stern, ast. business manager for IBEW Local 1245, said at today’s Solar Symposium in Sacramento. Large-scale solar and storage projects provide a reliable source of jobs, and

“This is a chance for California to walk the walk on an affordable clean energy transition,” said Alex Jackson, ACP-California's director. ACP-CA supports Senator Steve Padilla's SB 302, intro'd today. Let's boost the clean energy buildout and reduce costs. cleanpower.org/wp-content/upl…

Clean energy tax credits provide good jobs, economic benefits and lower prices. Repealing them would raise electricity costs 10%, say 12 House Rs, including CA's Rep. David Valadao and Vince Fong. They've got it right: The credits should be preserved. subscriber.politicopro.com/article/2025/0…

California set a new record when it added nearly 7,000 megawatts of clean energy capacity last year, Governor Gavin Newsom announced. That's big: It puts CA on pace to meet its energy goals. ACP-CA members stand ready to keep it up, delivering good-paying jobs and a more secure grid.

ACP-CA member companies shared our "build baby build" message with 50 California lawmakers' offices Tuesday. Going big on clean energy means jobs, economic opportunities and grid resilience. Let's pass the policies to make it happen.

ACP-CA applauds the CEC for approving a 9,500-acre solar + storage project in Fresno County in the first use of its permit streamlining authority under AB 205. But staff recommend denying a Shasta County wind project, casting doubt on where CA is going to get the 9GW of in-state

🔋 The market signals are clear: there is a growing appetite across the country for grid-scale battery storage. According to the new US Energy Storage Monitor from ACP and @WoodMac, more than 2 GW of storage was added across all sectors in Q1 2025 despite looming policy

A one-stop shop for electricity could save California $1 billion per year. For it to succeed, the Legislature needs to remove a poison pill in SB 540 that would undermine the market’s independence, ACP-CA's Alex Jackson and IEPA's Jan Smutny-Jones write. sacbee.com/opinion/op-ed/…

"California needs to work with other states to address our affordability and reliability challenges," Assemblywoman Cottie Petrie-Norris said today. "The stakes are simply too high." We agree. Lawmakers need to amend SB 540 to attract customers to CA's proposed one-stop energy market before it's too

NEW: @CAGovernor Gavin Newsom in an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal: Clean Energy Powers California’s Economic Growth “More than two-thirds of the state’s electricity is from sources such as solar, wind and geothermal.”

New supplies of cheap, clean electricity aren't getting to CA customers because of delayed transmission projects, Union of Concerned Scientists finds. Delays avg 6 years. Utilities aren't prioritizing projects. Some take 3x longer than estimated. It's a slow-motion crisis. pv-magazine-usa.com/2025/07/23/cal…

California electricity bills keep going up. Lawmakers want to do something about it. SB 540 opens the door to more than $1 BILLION/year in savings. Californians can't afford this opportunity to be missed. Find out more: affordablecleanpowerca.org

I'm calling on the Legislature to enable the expansion of regional energy markets to lower energy costs, reduce air pollution, and avoid power outages. This is our best shot at making electric bills more affordable and securing a clean, reliable energy future.

The Trump Administration's solar and wind policies will drive up electric bills around the country. They impede the fastest, cheapest sources of new power. But California is "not helpless in this fight,” ACP-CA Director Alex Jackson told San Francisco Chronicle. sfchronicle.com/climate/articl…
