A primer for energy policy.
CCST consulted with policymakers and more than 30 experts across California’s preeminent academic and research institutions to identify energy issues that needed additional attention given policy conversations and their importance to California’s energy future. This process identified eight high-level key challenges, which are explored across the eight sections of this primer. These sections highlight major challenges and opportunities, environmental justice and equity considerations, and resources for more information.
This peer-reviewed energy primer begins with an “Overview of California’s Energy Transition,” prepared by the Steering Committee describing a framework for California’s energy transition and key highlights.
