California Energy Commission: Releases The Electric Program Investment Charge Proposed 2021–2025 Investment Plan: EPIC 4 Investment Plan
The California Energy Commission (CEC) has prepared this proposed investment plan (2022–2025) for the Electric Program Investment Charge Program (EPIC) in response to the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) Decision 12-05-037 (modified). That decision established EPIC to fund electric public-interest investments to benefit the electricity-ratepayers of Pacific Gas and Electric Company, Southern California Edison Company, and San Diego Gas & Electric Company. This proposed plan is consistent with CPUC Decision 13-11-025 and continues implementing the requirements established by Senate Bill 96 (Committee on Budget and Fiscal Review, Chapter 356, Statutes of 2013).
Staff developed this proposed EPIC 4 Investment Plan through an open process that involved 12 public events as well as consultation with stakeholder groups, the CPUC, and other agencies. Input from these stakeholders and CPUC-CEC Commissioner discussion is reflected in the recommended strategic objectives, initiatives, and research and development topics.
