Climate Week:
California serves as a policy laboratory and proving ground for innovative technology that can accelerate the deployment of solutions needed to meet climate targets.
This session featured our executive director Arnab Pal and explored emerging policy and financing mechanisms, the challenges of scaling from pilot to mainstream adoption, and how public and private sectors can prioritize solutions that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, increase affordability, and provide community-wide benefits.
California’s Climate Playbook: Innovation from Technology to Agriculture
Climate Week: Arnab Pal joined a panel hosted by Environmental Voter Project and the Climate Museum to discuss where climate messaging currently stands, the energy sector political dynamics at local, state, and federal levels, the climate movement’s communications challenges and opportunities, and recent research on climate-related communications in the policy and political arena.

Trellis Impact 26: Is the Clean Energy Transition Still Happening?
The roadmap looked clear not long ago: a rapid shift toward renewables, a modernized grid, and policy momentum that seemed unstoppable. Then came shifting federal priorities, load growth that outpaced projections, and a utilities landscape navigating pressure from every direction. So where does the clean energy transition actually stand—and who’s steering it now? Arnab Pal joined Trellis Impact 26 in San Francisco.
A new statewide poll from Deploy Action Labs and Embold Research is clear: California voters want lower electricity bills, a more efficient grid, and stronger utility accountability.
And what’s more, they’re aligned on solutions: require grid efficiency before new spending, tie executive pay to customer bill affordability, and open the door to more competition from batteries, solar, virtual power plants, and distributed resources.
It’s clear voters support reform, and the question now is how Sacramento should respond.

Consumers and the Future of Energy Affordability: Issues, Policies and Midterms
Energy bills are top of mind for families, technology is moving fast, and the midterms are just around the corner. What's the roadmap to a resilient and affordable energy future? And how might the upcoming midterms influence what comes next?
Deploy Action executive director Arnab Pal discussed questions like these and more with Neil Chatterjee (Former FERC Chairman), and Christopher Kemper (CEO, Palmetto) in a conversation moderated by award-winning energy reporter Mary Catherine O'Connor.
Deploy Action, California Forward (CA FWD), and UC Davis Energy and Efficiency Institute (EEI) hosted the inaugural 2026 Clean Energy Affordability Summit — a half-day policy convening focused on the legislative priorities and system-level reforms needed for a true "California Fix" in a critical election year.

Intersolar: State Level Blueprints for a Clean and Resilient Energy Economy
Grids everywhere are straining from extreme weather, AI-driven demand, and aging infrastructure. One in six families in the US is behind on their electric bills.
In the absence of federal leadership, it’s now up to the states to build clean, resilient economies that help bring down costs for families. Deploy Action executive director Arnab Pal joined a fascinating discussion with Doreen Harris, Michael Judge, Lynnae Willette, and Sammy Roth about these state-level blueprints.
Deploy Action is working toward state-level victories that unlock America’s clean energy future.
