Clean Coalition Proposal Gains Support in IEPR Update

The Clean Coalition is proud of its leadership in helping to shape the IEPR Update.

The California Energy Commission (CEC) has been holding a series of workshops to solicit input from outside experts as they prepare to publish their 2012 Integrated Energy Policy Report (IEPR) Update. The Clean Coalition was invited to speak on a variety of topics related to DG and has been active in many of the workshops.

In May, the CEC supported a Clean Coalition proposal to utilize a new methodology when calculating regional DG targets within the Governor’s goal of bringing 12,000 MW of DG online by 2020. The Clean Coalition proposed baseline targets according to regional load that would be adjusted based on policy objectives and values such as job creation, air quality, and grid readiness.

The Clean Coalition is proud of its leadership in helping to shape the IEPR Update and will continue its effort to ensure that DG remains a priority in the 2012 IEPR Update.
