Past Workshops

Draft 2023 Energy Efficiency (EE) Potential and Goals Study (PGS) Presentation

The CPUC hosted a webinar to present the Draft 2023 Energy Efficiency (EE) Potential and Goals Study (PGS).

  • The recording is available here
  • The slide deck is available here

Draft Forecast Scenarios

The CPUC hosted a webinar to outline and discuss the draft forecast scenarios under consideration for the 2023 Potential and Goals Study. The presentation is available here: 2023 PG Study Scenarios Webinar - December 2022

We are soliciting stakeholder comment on these draft scenarios, as well as other topics. Written comments are due by January 6, 2023 – please consider these following questions when writing your comments:

  • Do you believe the CPUC staff proposed scenarios capture a reasonable range that can inform goal setting?
    • Other IRA considerations?
    • C-E thresholds?
  • What key variables should be the focus of scenario design?
  • Should incentive layering be factored into fuel substitution potential, and if so, how?
  • Are there any structural factors that play into current PA goal attainment levels that should inform the study?
  • CPUC staff aim to choose 4 scenarios – do you have suggestions for specific scenarios to consider?

Measure Characterization

The draft residential and commercial measure list for the 2023 Energy Efficiency (EE) Potential and Goals Study (PGS) and accompanying documentation linked below cover the residential and commercial sector measures that are proposed for inclusion in the PGS. Please read the attached PDF before crafting comments. 

We are soliciting stakeholder comment on this draft measure list. We invite stakeholders to submit informal written comments on these materials via email. Stakeholders may comment directly in the designated stakeholder comment column in Excel and e-mail the file as a response. Stakeholders may also provide comments in written format outside of Excel, though we ask that you cite specific measure names where possible. Please consider the following questions when writing your comments:

  • Are there additional measures or technologies that should be included? Or existing measures that should be excluded?  
  • If so, which are the highest priority to incorporate into the 2023 Study?  
  • Do you have program and measure (including fuel substitution) data to share that's not available via eTRM/DEER/Workpapers or CEDARS?

Written comments are due August 26th. Please send comments to travis.holtby@cpuc.ca.gov and npodkowsky@guidehouse.com.
