Proposition 45, on California’s November ballot, will modernize California’s project approval and permitting process, helping lower costs for Californians while keeping strong environmental protections in place. With passage of Prop 45, California can more quickly deliver essential infrastructure that strengthens our communities and economy, from affordable housing to clean water, clean energy, wildfire resilience, hospitals and transportation.

Avantus CEO Cliff Graham issued the following statement in support of Proposition 45:

“California has long set the standard for clean energy production, leading the nation and driving global conversations about investments that can shape a more sustainable and prosperous future. Clean energy has become a cornerstone of economic security and long-term resilience, and we believe the passage of Proposition 45 would lay the foundation for even more innovation, growth and future investment in the state and our industry.

At Avantus, we're focused on delivering reliable and affordable power for California’s growing needs. But California’s outdated laws cause critically important infrastructure projects to be routinely delayed for years by red tape, duplicative review and frivolous litigation. These delays raise costs for working families, slow progress on clean air and hold back projects that reduce carbon emissions.

Put simply, Prop 45 would streamline review and reduce delays — helping California more quickly deliver the projects our communities depend on.

For Avantus, Prop 45 will help us strengthen the grid with more reliable energy, create union jobs, deliver cheaper electricity and advance the state’s ambitious climate goals, all while remaining committed to protecting the environment for generations to come.”
