The lead commissioner for the 2019 Integrated Energy Policy Report (2019 IEPR), Janea A. Scott, will host a workshop to explore the role of California’s energy sector in supporting climate-resilient communities and the role of research in supporting energy sector climate adaptation.

 

A quorum of Commissioners may participate, but no votes will be taken.

 

This workshop will explore energy sector climate adaptation in California through two sessions focused on community resilience needs and collaborative research to improve energy sector planning and management. The first session will explore needs and strategies for fostering community resilience through energy sector innovation. Presenters will represent state government, local communities, and industry. The second session will explore the role of collaborative, actionable research in providing a scientifically sound foundation for energy sector adaptation in California. Presenters will represent the
research community, rural stakeholders, and utilities.
