Energy

This chapter will present energy policies adopted by SCAG's Regional Council in consultation with SCAG's partner agencies. California's recent energy crisis brought energy to the forefront of public policy issues. These issues can be summarized as 1) meeting the immediate energy demands, and 2) planning and developing the energy infrastructure necessary for servicing future population growth and energy requirements.
