California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed an executive order on Oct. 30 aimed at reducing electricity prices for Californians, which are the second-highest in the country, and directed state agencies to find ways to lower costs.

Newsom’s office said in a statement that the executive action “encourages electric bill relief” while also maintaining the state’s commitment to achieving carbon neutrality and “100% clean electricity” by 2045.
