Ratepayers for Affordable Clean Energy is a partnership of over 25 organizations working towards a clean energy future for the West Coast of North America. We envision that in the coming years, the West Coast’s energy supply will be increasingly clean, efficient, and affordable for all. RACE works to develop progressive energy policies, supports grassroots campaigns, analyzes state and local energy policies, and works to influence lawmakers to make the best choices on energy issues.

The links to the right have information about our partners and our contact information. 

RACE’s primary goals are to:

• Ensure that an increasing percentage of the West Coast’s energy supply comes from emission-free, renewable sources.
• Ensure that energy efficiency is maximized on the West Coast.
• Empower local communities to make clean, affordable energy available for its residents.
• Seek low-impact alternatives to harmful sources of energy, including Liquefied Natural Gas, and new sources of coal and nuclear.

How We Work

We hold regular meetings to discuss our priorities and strategies. Representatives from RACE’s partner organizations and other energy activists and experts from throughout the West Coast use these calls to strategize on clean energy campaigns and stay up to date and active in the Coalition. We also hold regional conferences, organize coalition-wide days of action, and assist local clean energy campaigns.
