Bill > AB2182

This bill requires large electrical corporations, defined as those with over 3 million customer accounts, to establish an Industrial Decarbonization and Energy Efficiency Program by August 1, 2027, funded by energy efficiency charges collected from eligible industrial or manufacturing facilities that meet specific criteria like a minimum peak load of 500 kilowatts. These programs will award grants to eligible facilities for projects such as energy efficiency upgrades, industrial heat recovery, behind-the-meter renewable energy generation, electrification of industrial processes, and carbon capture technologies, with grants covering up to 50% of project costs. The Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development will independently review and approve these grants, ensuring they prioritize projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, lower energy consumption, or improve grid efficiency, while each facility's total grant awards cannot exceed the amount it contributed to the program.
