Existing Agreements

California has signed memorandums of understanding with several countries. These agreements represent a formal declaration between countries, states, provinces, and cities to develop energy conservation policies, use cleaner energy, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

These agreements are symbols of mutual goodwill thereby encouraging bilateral cooperation. To share its successes and learn from others, the Energy Commission is committed to cooperating with other countries and jurisdictions interested in addressing complex energy issues and creating a clean energy future. Below is a list of active agreements specifically focused on energy issues and managed by the Energy Commission's leadership and staff.
