EPIC is a neutral, university-based energy and climate policy center founded in 2005, offering both academic programs and external research. We have supported nearly all regional climate action plans through GHG inventories, policy analysis, and implementation support, and provide regional GHG analysis for SANDAG. Our expertise spans energy law, regulation, rooftop solar, electric rates, building electrification, and transportation energy, including a proprietary hourly analysis method for time-based climate impacts. We pioneered Climate Equity Index analysis in the region and partner on equity and innovation initiatives including the TCC RICCE project and the CEC-funded Southern CA Energy Innovation Network. Most recently, we launched the San Diego Regional Energy Academy, a free three-day program to build energy literacy among climate and energy professionals.
