Summary

The bill lets community choice aggregators (CCAs) sponsor, finance, construct, operate and own electric transmission projects, even if the lines don’t directly serve their customers. It does not give CCAs any new power‑selling authority. By involving CCAs in transmission, the measure aims to reduce ratepayer costs.
