This workshop, facilitated by the Accelerate Group, aims to refine and finalize the draft Strategic Objectives for the Building Decarbonization goal of the EPIC program. These objectives are crucial in directing investments towards technologies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions from buildings - a key component in meeting California's ambitious climate targets for 2045.
Detailed Agenda Insights: The day is structured to maximize stakeholder engagement, starting with an overview of the draft Strategic Objectives, followed by a series of stakeholder Q&As, and culminating in a focused session where participants can suggest refinements. This setup ensures that the proposed measures are robust, equitable, and comprehensive, addressing both current and emergent strategies for achieving net-zero carbon emissions in the building sector.
Why It Matters: The EPIC program, significantly funded by California utility customers and administered by the California Energy Commission alongside major utilities like PG and E, SCE, and SDG&E, plays a critical role in pushing the envelope on energy innovation. By setting clear, actionable goals, the CPUC is ensuring that these innovations lead to tangible benefits for all Californians - enhancing reliability, affordability, and sustainability of the energy systems.
The outcomes of this workshop are expected to influence the trajectory of California's energy policies significantly, particularly as they relate to building decarbonization - a sector with substantial impact on the state's overall emissions.
As the CPUC continues to guide the state through its clean energy transition, the Building Decarbonization Technical Working Group's efforts to refine and implement strategic objectives underscore a committed approach to meeting environmental, economic, and social equity goals simultaneously. Stakeholders and the public alike are encouraged to engage in this process, shaping the future of California's energy landscape.
For more insights and to participate in the upcoming discussions, stakeholders are encouraged to register for the webinar and contribute to shaping California's clean energy future.
