Summary

The bill adds a new section to the Public Utilities Code that obligates the California Public Utilities Commission to have each large electric utility report the status of money set aside for the Microgrid Incentive Program by Jan. 15 2026. It directs the commission to re‑allocate any unspent funds to areas that have suffered multiple outages, especially vulnerable communities and critical infrastructure, and to return any remaining balance to customers as bill credits by Jan. 1 2027. The measure aims to improve grid resilience and ensure that incentive money benefits those most at risk during power loss.
