Market transformation initiatives are forming now in California

A significant step toward establishing a market transformation portfolio for California concluded with the close of CalMTA’s first Request for Ideas (RFI) on August 18. We received 117 submissions describing innovative technologies and practices that will help the state reach its energy efficiency and decarbonization goals through market transformation. See some outcomes of the RFI below and read more in our latest blog post.

High-value changes that last.

Market transformation works to remove market barriers to the adoption of energy-efficient and climate-friendly technologies and practices to make them the new standard. Changes are lasting and have quantifiable benefits that remain long after active market interventions have ended.

Infusing innovation in all we do.

CalMTA initiatives are about rethinking how things are done. By targeting points of leverage along a supply and delivery chain, we can catalyze change in the way business is done in targeted markets to deliver efficiency, climate, and workforce development benefits.

Collaborative to our core.

We work with energy efficiency stakeholders, market actors, and others to deliver benefits for Californians. Through ongoing engagement and collaboration, we are maximizing input on our initiative development and ensuring that our efforts align with and support other programs.

Investing in energy equity.

CalMTA is working directly with community-based organizations to ensure that higher-paying clean energy jobs as well as the health and comfort benefits of our efforts reach those neighborhoods who have historically been left out of energy efficiency investments.
