Governance & Independence

Governance & Independence

Cal Integrity exists for oversight, transparency, verification, reporting, accountability, and consumer and ratepayer protection.

This page explains how the initiative is structured so that oversight remains clearly separate from implementation, capital deployment, and contractor profit.

Governance Model

How the governance model is structured

The operating model is designed to make oversight independence visible, readable, and defensible.

Nonprofit Parent

AOCU (Nonprofit Parent)

Agents of Change United serves as the nonprofit parent organization that holds the public-benefit umbrella around the work.

Oversight Initiative

Cal Integrity (Oversight / Public Accountability)

Cal Integrity operates as a public-benefit accountability and oversight initiative under AOCU, focused on transparency, verification, reporting, and consumer and ratepayer protection.

Independence Boundary

Separate Boundary

Implementation, capital deployment, project sales, and contractor profit are intentionally kept outside Cal Integrity.

Commercial Entities

GreenNet / Commercial Entities (Implementation / Capital / Deployment)

GreenNet and related commercial entities are separate organizations responsible for implementation, capital deployment, and project execution.

Independence Clarity

What the structure is designed to make clear

A clear operating boundary helps protect the credibility of oversight, public accountability, and consumer trust.

These statements are meant to remove confusion about who governs, who oversees, and who executes.

AOCU is the nonprofit parent organization

Cal Integrity is housed under a nonprofit parent so its public-benefit role is clearly anchored in mission rather than project sales.

Cal Integrity operates as an oversight initiative under AOCU

Its purpose is accountability, transparency, verification, reporting, and public-interest oversight of energy program structures.

GreenNet and related commercial entities are separate

Implementation and capital deployment organizations sit outside the oversight initiative and are not the same operating body.

Consumer and ratepayer protection remain central

The oversight role exists to help protect public trust, public-purpose funds, and scrutiny-readiness across complex energy programs.
