Session 2 & 3: IEPR Commissioner Workshop on Assessing the Future Role for Microgrids in California

As part of the 2020 Integrated Energy Policy Report Update (2020 IEPR Update), the California Energy Commission (CEC) will host a remote access workshop to gather information on trends in assessing the future role for microgrids in California. CEC Chair David Hochschild, the lead commissioner for the microgrid portion of the 2020 IEPR Update, will co-host this workshop with CEC Vice Chair Janea A. Scott. California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) President Marybel Batjer, CPUC Commissioner Genevieve Shiroma and Steve Berberich, President and Chief Executive Officer of the California Independent System Operator, will also participate in the workshop.

A quorum of commissioners from CPUC and CEC may participate, but no votes will be taken.
