Some of Our Legislative Wins in 2024-2025
Eco Equity is accelerating the transition to 100% clean energy.
We partner with organizations and businesses that aim to reach clean energy goals ahead of California’s 2045 mandate, setting a powerful example for others.
By bringing new and diverse voices into clean energy discussions, we are reshaping perceptions and proving that clean energy is not only viable but essential for a strong economy.
At Eco Equity, we bring deep experience navigating complex regulatory processes—from reviewing programs such as Resource Adequacy at the CPUC to advancing innovative solutions like wave and tidal power.
We partner with leaders committed to accelerating clean energy and equity, ensuring a faster, smarter, and more inclusive transition for all.
-
Passed unanimously, SB 1006 requires electrical transmission utilities to develop feasibility studies on grid-enhancing technologies (GETs) and advanced reconductors by January 1, 2026. These studies will guide future improvements in the state’s energy infrastructure. Eco Equity led the Unlock the Grid Coalition, a diverse alliance of environmental, labor, and business groups, to secure broad support for the bill.
-
This bill permits the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) and the electrical corporations that have their transmission operated by the CAISO to participate in voluntary energy markets. These markets must be overseen by an independent regional organization (RO) and are subject to specific requirements.
-
Authorizes the California Energy Commission to use funds from the Voluntary Offshore Wind and Coastal Resources Protection Program to support capacity funding activities and grants for local and tribal communities. The legislation also establishes reporting requirements for the CEC, offshore wind entities, and any eligible entities that receive donations from OSW entities.
-
This proposal amends several components of the California Public Utilities Commission's (CPUC) resource adequacy (RA) program and integrated resources planning (IRP) process. The goal of these modifications is to resolve ongoing issues related to electricity supply reliability.
