2025 EPIC Symposium
Tuesday, October 7
CNRA Headquarters, 715 P Street, Sacramento, California
Registration and event details to come!
Join fellow clean energy leaders to discuss and discover the latest technologies, innovations, and research in the EPIC portfolio!
The symposium features panel discussions with leaders from the private sector, utilities, research community, and state and federal government, along with representatives from environmental justice communities and tribal nations.
The EPIC program advances clean electricity innovation and entrepreneurship to help California meet its energy and climate goals. More than $130 million is invested annually in public interest research, development, and demonstration projects that benefit electric ratepayers of the state’s three largest investor-owned utilities — Pacific Gas and Electric Company, Southern California Edison Company, and San Diego Gas & Electric Company.
This program is funded by California utility customers under the auspices of the California Public Utilities Commission. For more EPIC information, visit the EPIC Program webpage.
