The PAEC reports shine a light on what needs to happen to scale up clean local energy, support grid reliability, and minimize the need for new energy infrastructure costs such as transmission and distribution upgrades in the future.
PAEC is a trailblazing initiative to streamline policies and showcase projects that facilitate local renewables and other advanced energy solutions like energy efficiency, energy storage, and electric vehicle charging infrastructure. The PAEC initiative will create pathways to cost-effective clean local energy and community resilience throughout San Mateo County, the City of Palo Alto, and beyond. PAEC is a collaboration between the Clean Coalition, the CEC, Pacific Gas & Electric, and an array of municipalities, emergency response jurisdictions, schools and universities, and corporate entities.
