California Energy Alliance

The California Energy Alliance (CEA) is a member based 501(c)(3) organization focusing on collaboration amongst a range of stakeholders and finding common ground to drive effective energy policy. CEA members come from a wide array of market sectors impacted by energy use in California. Member organizations include manufacturers, non-profit organizations, academic institutions, trade associations, contractors, builders, and large end-users—just to name a few. CEA's success is solidly based on the diversity of its membership. 

 CEA’s mission is to bring beneficial, equitable change to energy standards, policies, and programs through diverse and engaged stakeholders, and is driven by its vision of a healthy and equitable built environment that is powered by carbon-free, reliable energy sources. Our work focuses on advocacy, outreach, research, and evolution of codes, standards, and policy. CEA is the only energy advocacy organization to have had its code change proposals adopted as part of recent California Energy Standards updates. CEA's proposals are self-funded and developed by Members in collaboration with interested public participants, industry experts, and the people working every day in California buildings.
