California Clean Energy Tour
Utility Demonstration of Znyth™ Battery Technology to Characterize Performance and Grid Benefits
A program that provides financial incentives to install solar on new residential buildings.
Designing and manufacturing zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles.
Increasing power generation of clean energy with fewer wind turbines.
The world’s largest utility scale solar project is located in California.
Alta Wind Energy Center is the nation's largest wind facility.
Every day, 100 tons of food destined for landfill will be converted into energy.
Desert Sunlight is one of the largest solar photovoltaic projects in the world.
UPS deployed 100 all-electric EVI delivery vans that are reducing greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution, and helping to protect the environment and public health.
The Geysers geothermal field is the largest producer of geothermal electricity in the world.
Helms is Pacific Gas and Electric Company’s largest hydroelectric facility, and the largest pumped hydroelectric storage project in California.
The Ivanpah project is on track to become the world’s largest solar thermal power plant.
Playa Vista Elementary incorporated a number of sustainability building measures including roof-mounted solar panels, a geothermal heat exchange system, and reclaimed water for landscaping.
In the smoggiest region of the country, there is much to be gained by promoting zero-emission transportation made possible with easy-to-charge electric vehicles.
The smart grid system of the Santa Rita Jail integrates all of its on-site generation and advanced energy storage systems. It can power 100 percent of the jail’s electrical needs during daylight hours.
Sustainable design of this UC Davis community will reduce reliance on cars, limit energy consumption, enable energy production, and contribute to a healthy environment.
Clean energy to fuel the future is being produced all over California
As the state’s primary energy policy and planning agency, the California Energy Commission tracks and supports projects that have made the state a global leader in clean energy technology. These projects range from the conversion of food and agricultural waste into biofuels and the adoption of all-electric delivery vans to the production and storage of renewable energy from wind and solar.
This site showcases the types of projects that are being used to help California meet its ambitious clean energy and climate change goals. More importantly, clean energy is helping to protect public health, create jobs and promote energy independence while increasing energy reliability and safety.
