What We Do

The Association of California Community and Energy Services’ (ACCES) mission is to ensure equity in access to program services for low-income households and to enhance the quality and depth of these services. ACCES’ core strategies are to strengthen, develop, educate, and advocate for our Network of Local Service Providers (LSPs) and the low-income communities they serve throughout California.

Currently, ACCES has a membership of 35+ non-profit energy service providers. We assist these and other non-profits and provider entities to add to their list of measures by administering programs to further the energy and dollar savings to the low-income families. We have programs with the State Department of Community Services and Development, The Department of Water Resources and Energy Outwest. We also provide comments to low-income proceedings through the CPUC, CEC, ARB and other state agencies.

ACCES is supported by their committed Board of Directors who are the non-profit leaders in the field of energy efficiency and who provide direct services to their low-income communities. We are committed to this mission of energy equity through the dedicated network of service providers. We remain a conduit between state and federal programs, the network of providers and the low-income communities through strong collaborations and partnerships.
