Accelerating Clean Energy Deployment in California
California has always been a leader in clean energy, yet many of us wonder, is there more we could be doing as a state and as a city to accelerate this transition, and to improve affordability at the same time? The complexity of state and local policies, of utility regulation and power markets, of permitting and infrastructure, leave many citizens unclear how to engage.
Join Abundant SF and 9Zero, San Francisco’s climate innovation hub, for a panel discussing, "How can we accelerate clean energy deployment across California and San Francisco?".
This session will recap our progress and roadblocks toward our climate goals at the state and local levels, then proceed to topics of active debate like Distributed Energy Resources, building electrification, and public power — providing actionable insights for advocates, practitioners, and everyday citizens.
Panelists
Sam Fishman, Sustainability & Resilience Policy Manager at SPUR
Kristen Frick, former DOE Grid Deployment and Strategy, now SF Power Enterprise
Ken Branson, Senior Policy Advisor for Climate, Energy, and Environmental Issues for California State Senator Josh Becker
Moderated by: Erin Boyle (Clean energy technologist; Member of Abundant SF and 9Zero)
