CALIFORNIA UTILITY RESEARCH COUNCIL

(CURC) - Public Utilities Code, Sections 9201-9203 requires the California Energy Commission, the California Public Utilities Commission, and the investor-owned utilities (Pacific Gas and Electric Company, Southern California Edison, and San Diego Gas Electric) to coordinate and promote consistency of research, development and demonstration (RDD) programs with state energy policy. The CURC provides coordination for and sharing of information on energy RDD in California to avoid duplication of efforts.
