Bill > AB2163

This bill requires state agencies involved in electricity policy, including the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) which regulates public utilities, to consider the significant energy potential and high energy capacity of the County of Imperial and Lithium Valley when implementing the state's policy to achieve 90% renewable and zero-carbon electricity by 2035, and 100% by 2045. This means that any actions taken to meet these clean energy goals must also take into account the future energy development and output from these specific regions. The bill also makes minor technical changes to the wording related to the electrical system and clarifies that no state reimbursement is required for local agencies as the bill does not create new costs for them.
