Bill > SB1219

This bill would require the Public Utilities Commission (PUC), which oversees public utilities like electrical and gas corporations, to approve an application from these corporations to stop managing an energy efficiency program or a group of such programs within 180 days of the application being filed. This discontinuation can be approved if the program is found to be not cost-effective, meaning it doesn't provide enough savings or benefits compared to its costs, or if it's not reliable, meaning its projected benefits consistently fall short for at least two years within a four-year period. For electrical corporations specifically, a program can also be discontinued if it's not being used to address any gaps in their long-term energy supply plans, known as integrated resource planning. These energy efficiency programs are typically funded by a charge on electricity bills.
