The first Earth Day happened in 1970. In 1974, California became the first state to enact energy usage regulations. California was also the first to enact an energy regulation commission – the California Energy Commission (1975). Today, California has the lowest per capita energy consumption in the United States. Title 24 compliance has gradually increased over the past 47 years and can be expected to continue in 2021 and well beyond.

Key goals of the California Energy Commission and Title 24 compliance are:

  • A 100% clean energy future.
  • Ensuring a safe, resilient, and reliable supply of energy.
  • Providing 60% of electricity from renewable energy by 2030.
  • Becoming carbon neutral by sourcing 100% of energy from zero-carbon sources by 2045.
  • Remaining at the forefront of clean energy leadership.
