Dashboard Goal Attainment Bar Chart Enhancement
A new Goal Attainment Summary Bar Chart is now available on the Confirmed Dashboard in the Claims Module for claim years 2024 onwards. This visualization clearly shows IOU progress toward goals by comparing Total System Benefit (TSB) and Codes & Standards (C&S) net savings (GWh, MW, MMTherms) against their targets. Each bar includes percentage labels to make performance gaps and achievements immediately clear. 2024 Pacific Gas & Electric Goal Attainment https://cedars.cpuc.ca.gov/claims/confirmed-dashboard/PGE/ 2024 San Diego Gas & Electric Goal Attainment https://cedars.cpuc.ca.gov/claims/confirmed-dashboard/SDGE/ 2024 Southern California Edison Goal Attainment https://cedars.cpuc.ca.gov/claims/confirmed-dashboard/SCE/ 2024 Southern California Gas Goal Attainment https://cedars.cpuc.ca.gov/claims/confirmed-dashboard/SCG/ Guidance Updates Updated descriptive text on the goal attainment page: "Commission Decision (D.)23-08-005 established IOU territory goals for 2024-2035 for incentive programs, expressed as Total System Benefit (TSB), and Codes and Standards programs, which are expressed in terms of net savings (GWh, MW, MMTherms).

Record-Level Data Label Correction
Record-Level Data – Budget Filing Label Fix: Updated label from 2024–2027 True-up Budget Filing → 2024–2025 True-up Budget Filing to reflect the actual years available from CEDARS. Note: The 2026–2027 True-up Budget Filing data has been archived to make way for MCAL Budget Filing submissions for 2026-2027, and is available to download from the same page.
What’s New: CET 2032–2033 First Year, Budget Filing RIM Alignment, CET Input File Sorting
1. CET 2032 and 2033 First Years Added The Cost Effectiveness Tool (CET) now supports 2032 and 2033 as first year options. This update was made to support the upcoming ESA Application, which covers program years 2028–2033. 2. Budget Filing – RIM Calculations The Budget Filing dashboards now use the same RIM calculation as CET for 2026 onward. Calculation: RIM = elecben + gasben + waterenergyben + otherben + BillIncrElec + BillIncrGas / RIMCost Example: 3. CET Output – Input File Header Order The inputs.csv file within the CET output ZIP is now sorted to match the order of the inputs originally uploaded by the user.
Standardized Example File Names Across CEDARS
In efforts to provide more clarity and consistency, we’ve standardized the example file names across CEDARS. Naming Convention: [DataType]_example_input.zip Cost Effectiveness Tool (CET): cet_good.zip → cet_example_input.zip Monthly Reports: good.zip → monthly_report_example_input.zip Budget & Application Filings: cei_good.zip → budget_filing_example_input.zip Quarterly Claims: claim_YYYY_example.zip → claim_YYYY_example_input.zip claim_YYYY_example.xlsx → claim_YYYY_example_input.xlsx claim_YYYY_statewide_example.zip → claim_YYYY_statewide_example_input.zip claim_YYYY_statewide_example.xlsx → claim_YYYY_statewide_example_input.xlsx
