SAN FRANCISCO (BCN) — California residents should be able to keep their lights on during disaster-driven power outages without having to rely on carbon-emitting generators, state Sen. Bill Dodd, D-Napa, said in his new piece of climate legislation titled the Community Energy Resilience Act.Introduced on Tuesday, Senate Bill 833 would help local governments develop clean energy community infrastructure, like solar panels and ample battery storage, by providing technical and financial assistance from the California Energy Commission.
Dodd said planning for clean energy investments can attract private and public entities and curate a community-wide resilience strategy that prioritizes the most essential facilities in a disaster.READ MORE: Possible E.
