Summary

The bill lets California create pilot transmission projects that can be financed, built, and operated by public or private entities to lower costs and meet clean‑energy goals. Project owners must contribute to the state’s Wildfire Fund and follow safety plans overseen by the Office of Energy Infrastructure Safety. The governor, with input from the Joint Legislative Budget Committee, will set guidelines and designate agencies to run the pilots.
