The California Energy Commission presents the Commission's views on the critical issues for the electricity sector in California. The report includes the Commission's adopted level of electricity demand and its adopted policies and supply criteria. Together, these form the basis for planning and certification of electric generation and transmission facilities by the Energy Commission. It also includes estimates of the potential contributions of conservation and various conventional and alternative supply sources, critiquies of utility supply plans, and determinations of how much new capacity is required. Finally, the report presents policy recommendations for directing public and private investments into preferred energy options, for spreading the benefits and costs of these options broadly and fairly among California's citizens, and for removing remaining obstacles to the development of all acceptable energy sources.
