 Welcome to the California Distributed Energy Resources Guide
 Strategic Planning - Docket # 99-Dist-Gen-(2)

Energy Commission development of a Strategic Plan for distributed generation will serve as a guidance document for the coordination of activities related to the deployment of distributed generation in the State of California. The Plan will also chart a clear path for the Energy Commission's own distributed generation activities.

To begin the strategic planning process, the Energy Commission's Energy Facility Siting Committee (Commissioner Robert Laurie, Presiding Member, and Commissioner Robert Pernell, Associate Member) held a workshop on February 5, 2002 to receive input regarding the desired content of an Energy Commission Strategic Plan for distributed generation. The results of this effort have been used to develop a draft Strategic Plan, containing the Energy Commission's proposed vision, mission, goals and initiatives for distributed generation. The draft plan will eventually be presented to the full Commission for approval and offered to State and local agencies as guidance for their own distributed generation activities.
