CSAC will be joining the California Energy Commission (CEC), the
California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), and the California
Air Resources Board (CARB) as they host a workshop to discuss
approaches for examining the environmental and land use
implications of reaching the state’s SB 100 clean energy
targets. CSAC Legislative Advocate Ada Waelder will serve on
a panel among other representatives from local government,
California Native American tribes, industry, and environmental
groups to discuss coordination on land use and SB 100
implementation.
SB 100 (De León, Chapter 312, Statutes of 2018) set a 2045 goal
of powering all retail electricity sold in California and state
agency electricity needs with renewable and zero-carbon
resources. By 2030, at least 60 percent of California’s
electricity needs to be renewable and eventually achieve 100
percent clean electricity in the state. SB 100 requires the CEC,
CPUC, and CARB to develop and submit a joint-agency report to the
legislature, with the next scheduled report due in 2025.
analyze projected land-use impacts of scenarios and
opportunities to reduce environmental impacts in future analyses;
include non-energy benefits, such as land use impacts; and
coordinate future system modeling and land-use impacts with
the Climate Smart Strategy
