Bill > SB100

This bill, known as The 100 Percent Clean Energy Act of 2018, aims to extend and expand the California Renewables Portfolio Standard Program. The key provisions are: 1. The goal is to achieve 50% renewable resources by December 31, 2026, and 60% by December 31, 2030, for retail sellers and local publicly owned electric utilities. The bill also requires 100% of retail electricity sales and state agency electricity procurements to come from eligible renewable energy resources and zero-carbon resources by December 31, 2045. 2. The bill requires the Public Utilities Commission, Energy Commission, and Air Resources Board to take steps to ensure this transition to a zero-carbon electric system does not cause or contribute to increased greenhouse gas emissions elsewhere in the western grid. 3. The bill grants the Public Utilities Commission the authority to enforce these renewable energy procurement requirements on local publicly owned electric utilities, and allows the Air Resources Board to impose penalties for noncompliance. 4. The bill provides that no reimbursement is required for local agencies or school districts to implement the new requirements, as the costs are considered within their authority to levy service charges, fees, or assessments.
