Energy Justice Starts With Community Power

Deep expertise and community voices working together to help shape California’s energy future.

Californians Deserve a Better Energy System

We’re a statewide alliance of advocates, energy professionals, and community members working toward one goal: an energy system that’s affordable, reliable, and shaped by the people it’s supposed to serve — not by utilities, not by investors.

Our Collective Vision

We envision a community-based and democratized energy system.

One that promotes affordable, resilient, local renewable energy resources.

And prioritizes bringing affordable and healthy energy to low-income communities.

Places that have historically suffered inequitable access to these essentials.

California Alliance for Community Energy

When communities have a real say in their energy future, everyone benefits: lower bills, cleaner air, and a system that answers to people instead of utility shareholders.

That’s the future we’re organizing toward, together.

Creating Change Across California

California’s energy future starts in your community. Our members are organizing around the issues that shape how California’s energy systems serve communities.

The Statewide Call

Throughout the year, we come together to discuss California’s energy justice movement, and every member has a voice.

Calls cover everything from rooftop solar policy and microgrids to electric vehicle infrastructure, wildfire mitigation, and utility accountability. Our members describe these statewide calls as a rare combination of expert depth, candid conversation, and statewide connection.
