Local Government Commission

Local Government Sustainable Energy Coalition

 

Since the energy crisis of 2000-01, local governments have taken greater interest in the availability and reliability of energy in their communities. In recent years, agencies around the state have undertaken various steps to reduce the costs and consumption of energy, and to reduce greenhouse gases.

The Local Government Sustainable Energy Coalition (LGSEC) is an association of California public entities formed to share information and resources to strengthen and leverage their communities' commitment to a sustainable energy future. That commitment is to manage today's energy uses and resources in ways that do not compromise the environment's capacity, or the community's ability to meet the needs of future generations.

Core strategies are to moderate energy demand through energy efficiency, increase renewable energy production, and improve energy security and reliability, while instilling environmental values that lead to community well-being.
