Clinton Moloney’s Post

Thank you to Sammy Roth for your great Los Angeles Times piece after talking with me and our other partners involved in the Los Angeles Cleantech Incubator (LACI)’s Clean Energy 2028 Roadmap. We released the county-wide focused Roadmap yesterday to accelerate reduction of GHGs by 15% by the time of the 2028 Olympics via bold targets including installing nearly 1.4 million heat pumps, a 165 MW Virtual Power Plant, 24 MW of battery-tied EV charging, nearly 12 GWh of rooftop solar, and a lot more (including meeting our existing Transportation Electrification Partnership’s related 2028 targets on EVs, ZE trucks, mode shift, etc). The work to implement our ambitious yet achievable Roadmap begins now. Doing so not only will show the world that LA—as the world’s 3rd largest metropolitan economy—can lead the way on climate. In fact, the future demands it. Big thanks to my co-chair in the Clean Energy Partnership David Hochschild & all our members including Mayor Karen Bass, County of Los Angeles, Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, Southern California Edison (SCE), Clean Power Alliance, California ISO, California Energy Commission, Sunrun, Wells Fargo, Swell Energy, & the many people and organizations that provided their input, ideas, and feedback. Hats off and huge gratitude to Mayte Sanchez, LACI’s Senior Director of Energy, who worked so hard over the last 18+ months in leading the partnership to do the modeling with the amazing sustainability and energy team at Accenture (led by Clinton Moloney), bring the partners together, and everything that made the Roadmap possible. Thanks as well to Michelle Kinman, Kylie Teller, Jillian Misrack, and all the incredible team Los Angeles Cleantech Incubator (LACI) that supported and helped make it all happen. There are many many more that are acknowledged in the Roadmap, but want to thank Ted Bardacke for being the first to help us with funding specifically for the Roadmap.
