Local Energy Rules

Can devastating wildfires and a bankrupt utility disrupt the transition to renewable energy? Not in Northern California, where one county is using community choice to help those affected by public safety power shut offs — and pursue its ambitious energy goals. For this episode of the Local Energy Rules podcast, host John Farrell speaks with Matthew Marshall, Executive Director of Redwood Coast Energy Authority. Redwood Coast is a Community Choice Aggregation entity in Northern California. The two discuss how community choice best serves Humboldt County, setting and achieving ambitious energy goals, and finding local resilience with microgrids.
