The Sacramento Municipal Utility District has set a more ambitious climate goal than California, aiming to be carbon neutral 15 years before the rest of the state.
The utility’s board unanimously adopted a resolution late Thursday to “work towards carbon neutrality by 2030” -- a decade sooner than its previous target of 2040. Under state law, all of California’s power must come from carbon neutral sources by 2045.
