Public Utilities Commission: energy efficiency programs: report.

Summary

The bill changes the Public Utilities Commission’s reporting schedule from every two years to every year for ratepayer‑funded energy‑efficiency programs that mirror state agency initiatives. It also mandates that greenhouse‑gas‑allowance revenues be credited as the California Climate Credit to residential, small‑business and trade‑exposed customers during June, July, August, and September, with a larger share for customers in hotter regions, and permits up to 15% of those revenues to fund clean‑energy projects. No reimbursement is required from local agencies or school districts.
