Staff Workshop on Building Decarbonization and Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment Website

The California Energy Commission (CEC) will host a staff workshop to discuss planned steps to implement a one-stop-shop informational website to help building owners, the construction industry, and local governments overcome barriers toward building electrification and installation of electric vehicle (EV) charging. A quorum of CEC commissioners may attend and participate in the scheduled program for the workshop, but no votes will be taken.

The public can participate in the workshop consistent with the instructions for remote attendance via Zoom below. The CEC aims to begin promptly at the start time posted and the end time is an estimate based on the proposed agenda. The workshop may end sooner or later than the posted end time.

While this workshop focuses on technology options, tools, and resources, the CEC will accept comments on all aspects of this project.
