Clean Energy. Lower Bills. Shared Benefits.

California’s clean-energy transition is necessary and urgent—but too many families are paying the price through rising utility bills, unreliable service, and confusing rate structures. As California’s Governor, I understand one simple truth: climate action only succeeds if it is affordable, reliable, and fair. The goal is to cut pollution and emissions while lowering household energy costs, strengthening public oversight, and ensuring the benefits of clean energy reach everyone. Bill affordability will be at the center of my energy policy, especially for low- and middle-income families. We also need stronger oversight and accountability of our utilities with increased transparency and accountability that can ensure reliability, safety, affordability, and actual emission reductions. I believe that by treating clean energy and grid resilience as public investments—and ensuring renters, low-income households, and workers share in the benefits—California can fight climate change, strengthen reliability, and make energy more affordable for everyone.
