Bill > AB2383

This bill requires the Public Utilities Commission (PUC), which regulates public utilities like electricity providers, to create a separate rate classification and schedule for "large energy use facilities" by January 1, 2028. A large energy use facility is defined as a site with a peak electricity demand of 20 megawatts or more that is connected under a retail transmission tariff. The new rate schedules must ensure that these large facilities pay for the costs of the electricity services they use, without unfairly burdening other customers or the electrical corporation's ability to meet clean energy goals. Additionally, the bill mandates that electrical corporations enter into contracts with these large energy use facilities for electricity service, with these contracts lasting at least 15 years for transmission or distribution and including provisions for reporting on onsite generation investments. These new requirements will apply to large energy use facilities receiving electricity service on or after January 1, 2027.
