Bill > AB1176

This bill amends Section 25741 of the Public Resources Code to modify the definition of a "renewable electrical generation facility" within California's renewable energy resources program. Specifically, the bill expands the definition to include facilities that commenced initial commercial operation on January 1, 2005, which allows more renewable energy facilities to qualify under the program. The bill makes several technical changes, such as clarifying language about facilities located within and outside of California, and ensuring that out-of-state facilities meet environmental standards. The bill also makes minor linguistic adjustments, such as replacing phrases like "any violation" with "a violation" and standardizing terminology around municipal solid waste conversion facilities. These changes are designed to provide more flexibility in defining renewable energy sources and potentially increase the number of facilities that can participate in California's renewable energy portfolio standard, which aims to increase electricity generation from renewable energy resources.
