relative to utility rate increases to inflation-adjusted thresholds and performance incentive metrics for utilities.

Summary

The bill bars the Public Utilities Commission from approving electric rates that rise more than 4% over the previous year after adjusting for inflation. It also directs the commission to study and adopt performance‑based incentive mechanisms that tie utility revenues to metrics such as affordability, reliability, and grid modernization, and to apply those incentives when setting future rates. The aim is to curb rising energy costs and push utilities toward more efficient operation.
