About

Strengthening California’s Energy Independence

California Energy Initiative was created to help homeowners reduce reliance on the traditional power grid and gain access to reliable, locally generated energy.

By supporting state-backed self-generation programs, we focus on improving energy resilience in wildfire-prone and underserved communities—while lowering long-term energy costs and strengthening California’s clean energy future.

We work alongside certified partners, utility providers, and program administrators to make clean, reliable power accessible to homeowners across the state.
