Energy Efficiency is Under Attack in California

The Council Needs Your Help!

Right now, the Legislature has incredible pressure to lower energy bills. On October 30, the Governor announced Executive Order N-5-24, linked here.

Sadly, forces are working to eliminate energy efficiency funding that supports public purpose programs by redirecting ratepayers’ dollars to other uses that have nothing to do with energy efficiency.

The Council has been tracking this development for some time. What started as a rumor is now a real and present danger for our industry.

Call to Action

Spread the Word! Especially with senior-level contacts in affiliated organizations who are affected by this, executive branch, legislative, and regulatory leadership. Stop the EE funding grab!

Please Contribute! Our goal is $100,000. It will be put into a general fund to support this and other Council activities so it is not specifically tied to advocacy for this issue. Click here to contribute online, or to be invoiced, email admin@cedmc.org with the dollar amount.

Any ideas or suggestions are welcome!
