NCPA supports federal, regional, and statewide efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat global climate change. 

In California, NCPA has taken affirmative steps to work with state agencies responsible for the implementation of California Assembly Bill 32, landmark legislation calling for California to return to 1990 greenhouse gas emission levels by 2020.  NCPA is actively involved in proceedings at the California Air Resources Board (CARB), the agency responsible for implementing the program in California, as well as the California Public Utilities Commission and the California Energy Commission, the agencies providing key guidance to CARB as it relates to the electricity sector.

Outside the state, NCPA is engaged in ongoing regional efforts with the Western Climate Initiative as well as playing key roles in the ongoing federal debate in Washington, DC.  Key NCPA filings in a variety of regulatory proceedings can be found on the right side of this page. 

NCPA and its members have a long history of environmental stewardship and have expended considerable resources to develop significant amounts of renewable electric generation resources, investments that are consistent with the fundamental objectives of climate change policy.
