Final 2025 Integrated Energy Policy Report (Final 2025 IEPR)

The California Energy Commission is overseeing the adoption of the Final 2025 Integrated Energy Policy Report, a mandate under Public Resources Code section 25302(a) requiring assessments and forecasts of the energy industry every odd-numbered year. This initiative focuses on analyzing energy supply, production, transportation, delivery, distribution, demand, and pricing to develop policies that ensure energy reliability, protect public health and safety, enhance the state economy, and conserve resources. Key deliverables for this cycle include electricity and gas forecasts, updates to load-shift goals, and strategies for advancing clean energy deployment. The project is based in Sacramento, California, with a statewide scope of performance. Under the guidance of Senior Attorney Renee Webster-Hawkins, the action has been granted a common sense exemption from the California Environmental Quality Act per CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3), as the adoption of the report is not considered a project that would result in significant environmental impact. The formal notice of exemption was filed on July 8, 2026, and the activity is categorized under NAICS code 541715.
