Electric bills in California are already some of the highest in the nation, and legislation from Washington DC is only making it worse, increasing Californians’ energy bills by $200 per year – but we have tools to fight back!
A state program (the Demand Side Grid Support (DSGS) program) is one of the state’s most effective ways to lower costs and improve reliability. It pays Californians to lower or shift their energy use in times of emergency. This avoids expensive fossil-fuel backup power, keeps prices down for everyone, and rewards Californians to support the grid instead of utility companies.
With Trump attacking clean energy at the federal level and driving up our electric bills, California needs to double down on its proven home-grown solutions to unlock affordable clean energy.
Save this critical affordability & reliability program by:
Fully funding DSGS through 2026 and beyond
Continuing to reward Californians for supporting the grid with clean energy
Protecting the nation’s largest virtual power plant program
