100% Clean Energy Collaborative

The rapid adoption of aggressive state clean energy targets has been one of the most important energy and climate change policy developments of recent years. Twenty-four states plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico have now set 100% clean energy goals for electricity, either through legislation or Governors’ actions. Those states are listed in a Table of 100% Clean Energy States that CESA regularly updates. The states with goals include more than half of US population.

The primary participants in the 100% Clean Energy Collaborative are state agency officials with responsibilities for achieving their state’s 100% goals, as well as policymakers in other states that may consider establishing similar goals in the future. Through the Collaborative, participants are sharing program insights, engaging with analysts who are studying solutions to technical challenges, and participating in Collaborative meetings. The Collaborative offers individualized technical assistance to the 100% states.

An Advisory Committee composed of state officials and clean energy experts provides guidance to CESA on strategic plans and activities for the Collaborative.

The 100% Clean Energy Collaborative also shares information with a wider group of stakeholders, including utilities, municipalities, clean energy advocates, industry representatives, and interested members of the general public.

The 100% Clean Energy Collaborative has produced a Guide to 100% Clean Energy States, which includes information about the goals, timelines, legislation, and plans of the states, plus DC and Puerto Rico, that have adopted 100% clean electricity goals. The Guide makes it easy to track what is going on at the state level related to zero-carbon electricity. It is divided into five parts.
