California has led the United States from 2010 to 2017 with its sustainable energy plans (also known as "clean energy"), with Clean Edge's Clean Energy Index for 2017 rating it at 92.0, with the second ranked state being Massachusetts, at 77.8, and North Dakota the lowest at 8.0. California is the only state with extensive deployment of wind ...
This is a list of U.S. states and territories by carbon dioxide emissions for energy use, [1] [2] as well as per capita [3] [4] and by area. [5] The state with the highest total carbon dioxide emissions is Texas and the lowest is Vermont. The state with the highest per capita carbon dioxide emissions is Wyoming and the lowest is New York.
A factsheet put out by the White House Press Room on May 28, 2014, cited the Building Performance Database as an example of a success story, saying that it has exceeded a milestone of 750,000 building records, making it the world's largest public database of real buildings’ energy performance information.
The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) is the largest municipal utility in the United States with 8,100 megawatts of electric generating capacity (2021–2022) and delivering an average of 435 million gallons of water per day (487,000 acre-ft per year) to more than four million residents and local businesses in the City of Los Angeles and several adjacent cities and communities ...
California is the state with the largest population and the largest economy in the United States. However, it is second in energy consumption, after Texas.

The 2019 California Energy Code became effective on January 1, 2020. [5] It focuses on such areas such as residential photovoltaic systems, thermal envelope standards and non-residential lighting requirements. Homes built under this code are about 53% more energy efficient than those built to comply with the 2016 Energy Code. [6]
There are some enhancements from the 2008 Code to the 2010 one, among them: The previous code said that energy efficiency was regulated by the California Energy Code. Section 4.201.1 of CALGreen 2010 clarifies instead that the CEC adopts regulations to establish the minimum level of energy efficiency a structure that is heated or cooled must ...
The Beacon Solar Project is a photovoltaic power station in the northwestern Mojave Desert, near California City in eastern Kern County, California. [2] [3] Split into five phases, the combined Beacon solar facilities generate 250 MW of renewable energy for the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP). [3]
