About this organization
Mission
We are a not-for-profit partnership of major environmental groups and private-sector clean energy companies. We design and fight for policies that promote global warming solutions and increased reliance on clean, renewable energy solutions for California and the West.
About
In an unprecedented victory for clean energy, CEERT Technical Director Jim Caldwells work for the City of Oxnard and environmental-justice groups resulted in the California Energy Commission rejecting a proposed gas-fired plant in favor of a mix of low-carbon resources to meet the area's Local Capacity Requirements (LCR). As a direct result of this verdict, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) approved three Requests for Proposals to procure carbon-free resources for LCR needs and allow the retirement of six gas plants. CEERT Director of Grid Policy Liz Anthony analyzed the generation and emissions profiles of gas-fired power plants in California to identify which are the most-polluting and the least-needed, and which clean-energy resources can be cost-effectively substituted for each plant's output. CEERT held active talks with Pacific Northwest stakeholders on California exporting surplus solar generation at midday in exchange for Northwest hydro resources when the sun starts to set. We influenced the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power's decision to delay plans to re-power 2,500 MW of gas-fired plants while it studies the viability of low-carbon alternatives. We coordinated with state and national organizations to defend the 2022 2025 vehicle emissions and fuel economy standards against current federal efforts to roll them back.
