IEPR Commissioner Workshop on Accelerating Interconnection and Energization

The California Energy Commission (CEC) will host a remote-access workshop addressing barriers and solutions to accelerating clean energy interconnection and energization, as directed by Assembly Bill 1373 (Garcia, Chapter 367, Statutes of 2023). This workshop will build on the work of the 2023 Integrated Energy Policy Report (IEPR) on interconnection and energization and provide an update on new developments related to these issues.

This workshop is part of the 2025 IEPR proceeding. Chair David Hochschild is the CEC’s lead commissioner for the 2025 IEPR, with Vice Chair Siva Gunda as associate commissioner. 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.

The public can participate consistent with the attendance instructions below.
