Utilizing City-Utility Partnership Agreements to Achieve Climate and Energy Goals

The document advocates for the use of city-utility partnership agreements in the United States to facilitate the collaboration between local governments and electric utilities necessary to meet climate and energy targets.

• U.S. local governments and investor-owned electric utilities are increasingly establishing ambitious climate and energy targets, but achieving these requires a level of customer-utility innovation and collaboration that exceeds traditional working relationships.
• City-utility partnership agreements serve as a mechanism to align sustainability efforts and establish long-term engagement through agreed-upon expectations and outcomes to accelerate climate action.
