Our Vision for a Local Clean Energy-Powered Bay Area

The Local Clean Energy Alliance envisions a future Bay Area that consumes significantly less energy. Residents actively and consciously reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions by making their homes and businesses more energy efficient, installing solar power, using alternatives to driving, and conserving and capturing water. Residents consume less energy on transportation because their cities and planning policies have been configured around local and regional electrified transit systems.

We envision a future for the Bay Area that is powered by renewable energy, with the majority coming from local, decentralized electricity generation that provides affordable, reliable, and clean power. The Bay Area can be a clean energy leader, meeting the state-mandated 80% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions before the rest of the state, providing a model for other regions and the rest of the country. We envision the Bay Area revitalizing and rebuilding its communities around public gathering places, events, and locally owned businesses, all powered by local clean energy. All communities share a vibrant and equitable regional economy thanks to tens of thousands of green collar jobs created by energy efficiency, local energy generation, and local green businesses. Communities source their own power and cooperatively build their renewable power infrastructure.

This is our vision. The Local Clean Energy Alliance seeks partners who share our passion for renewable energy, community vitality, and equitable development, and who are willing to work for change. Join us in laying the groundwork for a sustainable energy future.
