CEC  Offshore Wind Energy Strategic Plan

The California Energy Commission (CEC) took a major step toward achieving the state’s 100 percent clean electricity future by adopting a comprehensive strategic plan that will guide the development of offshore wind energy, one of the largest untapped sources of renewable energy in the state. The plan outlines analysis and strategies to deploy floating turbines off the state’s central and northern coasts with a planning goal of 25,000 megawatts (MW) of capacity by 2045, enough to power 25 million homes. This transformative effort advances California's ambitious clean energy goals to deliver substantial economic benefits statewide.

California Greenhouse Gas Emissions from 2000 to 2021

California Greenhouse Gas Emissions from 2000 to 2021: Trends of Emissions and Other Indicators summarizes and highlights the major annual changes and notable longer-term trends of each year's GHG inventory. It provides easy-to-read graphs and explanations to illuminate California's progress in its commitment to reduce climate-changing emissions.

Climate Letter to California Air Resources Board (CARB)

Governor Newsom called for the state to ensure that the 2022 Climate Change Scoping Plan provides a path to achieve both the 2030 climate goal and state carbon neutrality no later than 2045, requesting that the final plan incorporate new efforts to advance offshore wind, clean fuels, climate-friendly homes, carbon removal and addressing methane leaks.

The primary objective of this program is to provide competitive grants to local agencies for the development and implementation of capital projects adapting local transportation infrastructure to climate changes.

Local Transportation Climate Adaptation Program (LTCAP)

SB 198

Established the Transportation Infrastructure Climate Adaptation Strategy Grant Program as a competitive grant program to be awarded and administered by the department to provide funding to local agencies to identify transportation-related climate vulnerabilities through the development of climate adaptation plans and to identify ways to incorporate transportation-related climate adaptation needs into existing transportation plans. 

Established the Local Transportation Infrastructure Climate Adaptation Project Program, to be administered by the commission, for purposes of developing and implementing projects adapting local transportation infrastructure to climate change. The bill would require a local agency that receives funding under the grant programs to submit various reports to the commission or the department, as applicable, regarding the expenditure of those funds. 

Established the State Transportation Infrastructure Climate Adaptation Program, to be administered by the department, for purposes of planning, developing, and implementing projects adapting state transportation infrastructure to climate change. The bill would require the department, as part of the State Transportation Infrastructure Climate Adaptation Program, to develop a program of its top priority climate adaptation projects and to submit projects in this program to the commission for adoption.

The California Heat Pump Partnership (CAHPP) is a groundbreaking alliance that brings together leaders in the public and private sectors to rapidly scale California’s heat pump market.
