Final 2025 Integrated Energy Policy Report (Final 2025 IEPR)

The Final 2025 Integrated Energy Policy Report (Final 2025 IEPR) is a statutorily mandated policy assessment conducted by the California Energy Commission under Public Resources Code § 25302(a), which requires biennial evaluations of the state’s energy landscape including supply, production, transportation, delivery, distribution, demand, and pricing. The report’s purpose is to inform and evaluate energy policies designed to conserve resources, protect the environment, ensure grid reliability, strengthen the economy, and safeguard public health and safety. Key analytical components include the advancement of clean energy deployment, updated electricity and natural gas demand forecasts, and a revised load-shift goal. The report was finalized following a scoping order issued on March 20, 2025, and its adoption is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review under the “common sense” exemption outlined in CEQA Guidelines § 15061(b)(3). Performance is centered in Sacramento, California, with the California Energy Commission serving as the lead agency. No traditional contract clauses, pricing details, delivery schedules, or procurement mechanisms are associated with this action as it constitutes a regulatory and policy information collection rather than a competitive acquisition. The primary point of contact is Renee Webster-Hawkins, Senior Attorney IV, who serves as the agency representative for all related inquiries. The report is published and made available publicly through the California Energy Commission’s project portal, and no external contractors, offerors, or third-party deliverables are involved in its preparation or adoption.
