Quest for an Inclusive Clean Energy Economy (CEE 130B, CEE 330B)

Building bridges across the clean energy divide involves addressing barriers to participation. These barriers affect the pace of investment, especially for distributed energy solutions such as building energy upgrades, on-site solar, and transportation electrification. This course will explore innovative business models that are responsive to calls for equity and inclusion, and it will give special attention to California’s ongoing clean energy finance rulemaking in the utility sector to open the clean energy economy for all.
