The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) set regulations in 2020 on how California investor-owned utilities should approach climate adaptation. This regulation includes guidance on how utilities like SoCalGas should develop community engagement plans and vulnerability assessments.
We understand that climate change and adaptation require collaboration from our local partners and the communities we serve. To do that, we tailor our communication and community engagement to prioritize the needs of the communities we serve.
We are partnering with local community-based organizations, governments, and regional partners to ensure that we are developing strategies and planning for a future based in equity and empowering our communities to meaningfully impact how we plan and adapt to the impacts of climate change.
We value all communities in our service territory, and this work will prioritize investments in communities within our territory identified as "Disadvantaged and Vulnerable Communities" by this CPUC Decision.
We are developing a Community Engagement Plan to establish how we will collaborate and engage with our service area communities on the topic of climate change and resilience. This plan will be filed with the CPUC in 2024 and will be redesigned every six years. Updates and information about the Community Engagement Plan will be posted to this page as they become available.
