Summary

The bill would require electric utilities, service providers and community‑choice aggregators to keep enough energy‑storage capacity to meet their customers’ load and would task the Public Utilities Commission and Energy Commission with identifying cost‑effective transmission upgrades that support renewable and zero‑carbon resources. It also adds reporting, cost‑recovery and methodology rules, and states that local agencies will not receive state reimbursement for any new costs. The measure was vetoed by the governor.
