The bill orders the California Public Utilities Commission to establish a distinct retail electricity classification for large energy‑use facilities, with its own rate schedule, by Jan. 1, 2028. It also requires utilities and community‑choice aggregators to sign contracts covering service and energizing costs and bars these facilities from net‑metering programs.
