DECISION ADOPTING THE CALIFORNIA
LONG-TERM ENERGY EFFICIENCY STRATEGIC PLAN
1. Summary
Today, we adopt the California Long-Term Energy Efficiency Strategic Plan (Plan), and require that its adopted strategies be incorporated into energy efficiency program planning and implementation starting in 2009. Attachment A contains a copy of the Plan.1 The elements of the Plan as proposed in the utilities 2009-2011 portfolio applications will be evaluated for cost-effectiveness as called for by Decision (D.) 07-10-032.
Our adoption of the Plan culminates an extensive collaborative process involving the Commission's major regulated energy utilities - Pacific Gas and Electric Company, Southern California Edison Company, San Diego Gas & Electric Company, and Southern California Gas Company -- and over 500 individuals and organizations working together over an eleven-month period initiated by Decision 07-10-032 in October 2007, our order regarding future energy efficiency planning. The Plan sets forth a roadmap for energy efficiency in California through 2020 and beyond, by articulating a long-term vision and goals for each economic sector and identifying specific near-term, mid-term and long-term strategies to achieve the goals.
