California’s Energy Future Needs Action Now

California needs an affordable, flexible, and reliable energy grid. Governor Newsom should accelerate its development by signing this package of clean energy affordability bills on his desk:

Governor Newsom, sign these bills:

• Over 70% of Californians want to use their personal energy devices to lower their utility bill AND make it easier to use them in their homes and businesses.

• 69% of voters want to get more out of the existing grid.
  
  Senator Becker’s SB 905 establishes a framework to improve grid utilization, helping increase the use of the existing system so that system costs are spread over a larger group of customers.
• 80% of California voters want to modernize and speed up energy transmission development in California.
  
  Assemblymember Petrie-Norris’ AB 2493 requires more accountability for utility delays that are slowing necessary grid upgrades and preventing new clean energy projects from connecting to the grid.
