The Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission (Energy Commission) is responsible for ensuring a reliable supply of energy to meet state needs while protecting public health, safety, and the environment. Activities include: permitting energy facilities; designating transmission line corridors; assessing current and future energy demands and resources; developing energy efficiency standards; implementing programs to reduce wasteful and inefficient use of energy; stimulating development of alternative sources of energy such as wind, solar, biomass, and non-petroleum transportation fuels; analyzing transportation fuel supplies, prices, and trends; and maintaining capacity to respond to energy emergencies.
