In the absence of federal leadership, and building on a string of clean energy policy wins at the state level, the Connecticut League of Conservation Voters (CTLCV) is joining with the national League of Conservation Voters and our sister organizations across the nation to double-down on our progress towards a clean energy economy at the state and local level. The Leagues are partnered in a network-wide “Clean Energy for All” campaign to move the country closer to the goal of 100% clean energy by 2050. 

• ​Securing commitments from candidates at every level to support moving their state to 100% clean energy by 2050.
• Grassroots organizing to demonstrate demand for clean energy and pollution-free communities.
• Pushing for smart investments, like using the VW settlement money on clean, electric school buses as part of the Clean Buses for Healthy Niños campaign.

• Lobbying of decision-makers from governors to state legislators to mayors to school boards to break down the barriers to clean energy with specific policy proposals.

In Connecticut, our renewable energy goals lagging behind our neighboring states. Connecticut is at a crossroads as lawmakers consider whether to increase mandates for renewable power and support a shared solar program that would expand equitable access to clean energy. At the same time, advocates are fighting efforts that would weaken critical clean energy programs like net-metering.
