California enacts sweeping 2022 climate package and offshore-wind procurement
On 16 September 2022, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed a sweeping package of climate and clean-energy bills, including SB 1020, which sets interim clean-electricity targets of 90% by 2035 and 95% by 2040 on the path to the state's existing 100% clean-electricity-by-2045 goal. The package also advanced offshore-wind development, complementing the California Energy Commission's adoption of goals of up to 25 gigawatts of offshore wind by 2045. The measures reinforced California's position as a US leader on decarbonization.
