Richmond Advanced Energy Community

The Richmond Advanced Energy Community project pioneered zero-net energy solutions that will be demonstrated in Richmond, California, adopted and scaled-up by communities throughout the state, including disadvantaged communities. To achieve this goal, the Richmond Advanced Energy Community project developed innovative financial, policy, and program models that can substantially reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other harmful pollutants. This report describes the zero-net energy-focused plans, policies, and programs developed to advance the city’s environmental and public health goals, and to serve as a model throughout California and beyond.
