The California Energy Commission’s (CEC's) Electric Program Investment Charge (EPIC) Program invests in scientific and technological research to accelerate the transformation of the electricity sector to meet the state’s energy and climate goals. The CEC develops a new electricity research investment plan every five years. The fifth investment plan will cover the period from January 1, 2026, to December 31, 2030 (EPIC 5) and be shaped through a robust public process led by CEC staff.

This program is funded by California utility customers under the auspices of the California Public Utilities Commission.
