Key provisions include: - Increasing the renewable energy standard to 40% by 2025 and 55% by 2035. - Establishing a new carbon-free energy standard, requiring 65% carbon-free energy by 2025, 80% by 2030, 90% by 2035, and 100% by 2040. - Modifying the criteria the Public Utility Commission must consider when deciding whether to delay or modify implementation of the renewable or carbon-free standards. - Expanding reporting requirements for utilities on their progress in meeting the standards, including impacts on areas of concern for environmental justice. - Authorizing the Public Utility Commission to require payment of prevailing wages for construction of certain large electric generation facilities. - Repealing the existing renewable energy objective, which set a less ambitious 25% renewable energy target by 2025.
