Summary

The bill establishes a new Public Utilities Public Purpose Programs Fund that will be funded with money from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund. It directs the California Public Utilities Commission to allocate those funds to existing electricity‑rate‑based programs – such as energy‑efficiency, low‑income assistance, and self‑generation incentives – and adds reporting, eligibility, and performance rules. The goal is to lower the portion of customer rates that cover these programs and to tie funding to statewide climate and equity objectives.
