Summary

AB 2464 directs the Energy Commission and the Public Utilities Commission to produce a statewide study on firm zero‑carbon resources, such as nuclear or carbon‑capture generation, and how they can support a reliable, 100% clean‑energy grid by 2045. The assessment must be delivered to the Legislature by early 2028 and will guide procurement, policy, and planning decisions for utilities, community choice aggregators, and other load‑serving entities.
