Summary

The bill lengthens the state’s biomethane monetary incentive program to Dec. 31, 2030, raises the maximum incentive amounts, and permits gas utilities to recover certain interconnection costs in rates. It also authorizes up to $50 million in additional program funding, with a $10 million cap for dairy‑cluster projects, using revenues from greenhouse‑gas allowance allocations. The changes aim to lower renewable natural gas costs for utilities and ratepayers while supporting California’s climate goals.
