Join us for this month’s CACE call featuring Loretta Lynch, former President of the California Public Utilities Commission and a leading voice in energy regulation and consumer advocacy. Loretta will break down the CA ISO’s alarming new proposal and the far-reaching consequences it poses for California’s energy future.
This month’s call will explore “The Pathway to Perdition: How the CA ISO’s Pernicious Proposal Squanders California’s Customer Assets, Destroys the State’s Authority to Control Electricity Costs, and Ruins Its Ability to Achieve Clean Energy Goals.”
Presented by CACE Steering Committee member Loretta Lynch, this timely and urgent topic directly affects CACE members, as the proposal threatens California’s ability to manage its own energy system—putting affordability, local governance, and renewable energy progress at risk.
Understanding these implications is essential for anyone working to advance community power, protect ratepayers, and push for a clean and equitable energy future.
Key topics included:
-
How would the CA ISO proposal impact electricity costs for Californians?
-
What risks does it pose to California’s clean energy and decarbonization goals?
-
How can CACE members and allies mobilize to protect community choice and prevent further erosion of local control?
