CEDARS

Tour of CEDARS

The tour's steps on one page. On the front page the same steps are shown one at a time beside the part of the page each describes.

Start the tour on the front page
  1. Welcome to CEDARS

    CEDARS is where California's energy-efficiency program administrators file their budgets, claims and monthly reports, and where the CPUC reviews and publishes them. This tour shows where things are. Use Next and Back to move, or Escape to leave at any time.

  2. This program cycle at a glance

    The cards sum the published filings for one four-year program cycle: spending against the budget, total system benefit against the CPUC's goal, the energy saved, and the statewide TRC and PAC ratios. Each card links to the dashboard page that breaks its numbers down. Choose another cycle with the Program cycle box.

  3. Portfolio dashboard

    Forecast and claimed results side by side, by PA, sector, program or measure. Filter, drill down from any row, and download exactly the rows you see as CSV, Excel or Parquet. It is public: what it shows is the same signed in or not.

    Open the portfolio dashboard

  4. Record downloads

    The published measure-level records for every PA in one file: choose the records and the columns, then download them.

  6. Sign in

    Program administrators and CPUC staff sign in to file and review, and anyone can sign in to run cost-effectiveness calculations or follow documents. Anyone can create an account; every account uses a second factor, set up the first time you sign in. Signed in, the header adds Filings, Calculations, notifications and your account.
