Regulatory Advocacy

ACP-CA advocates for smart implementation in key regulatory proceedings including the Integrated Resource Planning and Resource Adequacy processes at the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). We participate in stakeholder processes at the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) covering transmission planning, interconnection reform and market design.

Legislative Advocacy

We champion legislative proposals that benefit the utility-scale clean energy industry and fight those that would harm it. We successfully promoted bills to create a California central procurement entity, to accelerate transmission expansions, and to create a roadmap for offshore wind.

Events

ACP-CA hosts lawmakers, policymakers and advocates at annual events including a legislative reception, a solar symposium, a summer social, and a holiday party. Our advocacy includes an annual lobby day and reception, our Energy Leader Award events, and occasional off-site functions.
