The California Energy Commission’s Aug. 17 business-meeting agenda bundles several major policy decisions into one docket, including transportation-electrification and resilience awards, adoption of Replacement Tire Efficiency Program regulations, and approval of two statewide planning documents.
According to the agenda posted on the commission’s filing system, commissioners are scheduled to consider $26.66 million in Community Energy Reliability and Resilience Investment Program grants, $11.54 million in Distributed Resources for Innovative Vehicle Energization Strategies grants, and a $7 million Forum Mobility project https://efiling.energy.ca.gov/GetDocument.aspx?tn=271982. The same agenda also includes certification of the final environmental impact report and adoption of Replacement Tire Efficiency Program regulations, along with approval of the 2026-2030 EPIC Proposed Investment Plan and the 2025 Building Energy Action Plan.
The consent calendar lists a range of projects tied to schools, hospitals, utilities and private companies, including grants and loans connected to Visalia Unified School District, Plumas District Hospital, EnCharge LLC, ElectricFish Energy Inc., the City of Burbank, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power and Anza Electric Cooperative. The agenda itself does not show whether commissioners will debate those items, amend them or approve them as written.
The meeting is scheduled for Aug. 17 in Sacramento, with remote participation available.
The commission’s filing says the proposed tire-efficiency rules would be considered alongside the final EIR for the program, while the building-energy plan and EPIC investment plan would guide longer-term state program priorities if adopted.
