Bill > SB1018

This bill would revise the definition of "electrical corporation" to exclude certain corporations or persons employing solar or wind generating technology if the electricity is transmitted exclusively and directly through private electric lines to a single facility owned by a different corporation or person that uses the electricity only for new load and for specific purposes like electrolytic hydrogen production or industrial process heat. The bill would require private electric lines located on property other than the property of the eligible facilities to be subject to certain regulatory requirements, including the filing of wildfire mitigation plans. The bill would also require the Public Utilities Commission to evaluate and, if just and reasonable, establish a tariff for qualified self-generation projects with a generating capacity exceeding 80,000 kilowatts, with the electrical corporation serving as an intermediary between the electrical generation and energy storage facilities and the qualified self-generation project.
