Bill > AB1182

This bill requires the California Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission (also known as the California Energy Commission) to prepare and submit a comprehensive report by July 1, 2026, focusing on the status of electrical grid infrastructure manufacturing within California. The report will specifically examine the manufacturing of critical electrical infrastructure components such as substation transformers, transmission lines, and related equipment. The legislation mandates that the report be submitted to both the Governor and the Legislature and must comply with existing government reporting guidelines outlined in Section 9795 of the Government Code. Notably, this reporting requirement is time-limited, with the legislation automatically repealing on January 1, 2030, which means the commission will only be required to produce this specific report once. The bill builds upon existing state energy policy requirements, which already mandate biennial integrated energy policy reports, but focuses this particular report on the specific area of grid infrastructure manufacturing, potentially to assess California's preparedness, capacity, and strategic positioning in this critical sector of energy infrastructure development.
