The Clean Energy Reliability Investment Plan (CERIP) addresses a requirement in Senate Bill 846 (Dodd, Chapter 239, Statutes of 2022) for the California Energy Commission to develop a $1 billion investment plan for clean energy resources. This plan provides justification and recommendations for clean energy investments that accelerate the deployment of clean energy resources, support demand response, assist ratepayers, and increase energy reliability. The plan takes into account California’s anticipated supply and demand needs for near-term and mid-term reliability, advancement of the state’s policies towards 100 percent zero-carbon and renewable energy resources by 2045, and the state’s greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets for the electricity sector.
