Bill Summary
An act to amend Section 399.30 of the Public Utilities Code, relating to electricity.
AI Summary
This bill amends Section 399.30 of the Public Utilities Code to clarify how local publicly owned electric utilities (utilities owned by a municipality or other local government entity) can account for excess renewable energy procurement, specifically allowing them to carry over excess renewable energy credits from one compliance period to the next, similar to how retail sellers are permitted to do. It also adjusts the deadline for these utilities to adopt an enforcement program for their renewable energy procurement plans from January 1, 2012, to January 1, 2013, and clarifies reporting requirements for these utilities regarding their renewable energy resource development and resource mix. The bill also specifies that the Energy Commission has the exclusive authority to assess penalties against these utilities for non-compliance with renewable energy procurement requirements, with penalties mirroring those for retail sellers and collected funds to be used for meeting renewable energy goals.
