The Inflation Reduction Act includes many transformative climate investments but there is one that I am particularly excited about as the leader of a public power agency Today when we buy seek to invest in new solar + storage, wind, and geothermal we do so by entering into long term purchase agreements for the electricity generated from these projects

Tonight @PoweredbyEBCE took the bold step to set our 15 East Bay communities on the path to 100% clean energy by 2030. And I wanted to share a few thoughts why this is so important and how we will get there - while managing through the considerable challenges on the way First and foremost, setting a 100% goal is as much about setting a marker for where we need to go as a society than the actual quantity of MWs that underpin it. We must thoroughly engage the public in our work and inspire them with a vision for the future

Throughout the Covid19 pandemic, we have worked very hard to find ways to give back to our community through grants to over 50 community based organizations. Tonight, @PoweredbyEBCE is approving another $250,000 to those hardest hit by the pandemic Our first $50,000 grant is going to @UCSFBenioffOAK to support their Covid19 relief fund and their child life services department

Hey tweeps, been a little while. Seeing the IRP PD from CPUC has me thinking and wanted to share. Tens of thousands of new MWs of clean energy are going to be needed to meet CA 2030 goals. We are sure to hear a lot about impediments to getting there over coming months IMO, major issue that needs to be settled is who is going to retain obligation to serve customer load over the long term. Right now, CCAs serve over 10m Californians. While each of those customers does have choice to revert to IOU service, opt outs remain very low
