2019 Integrated Energy Policy Report

The Integrated Energy Policy Report (IEPR) is the state's principal energy policy report. The 2019 IEPR provides an analysis of:

• Electricity sector trends.
• Building decarbonization and energy efficiency.
• Zero-emission vehicles.
• Energy equity.
• Climate change adaptation.
• Electricity reliability in Southern California.
• Natural gas assessment.
• Electricity, natural gas, and transportation energy demand forecasts.

Senate Bill 1389 (SB 1389, Bowen and Sher, Chapter 568, Statutes of 2002) requires the California Energy Commission (CEC) to:

"[C]onduct assessments and forecasts of all aspects of energy industry supply, production, transportation, delivery and distribution, demand, and prices. The [CEC]  shall use these assessments and forecasts to develop energy policies that conserve resources, protect the environment, ensure energy reliability, enhance the state's economy, and protect public health and safety." (Pub. Res. Code § 25301(a)).

The CEC adopts an Integrated Energy Policy Report (IEPR, pronounced eye'-per) every two years and an update every other year.
