AB 177, as amended, V. Manuel Pérez. begin delete Renewable resources. end delete begin insert Public utilities: greenhouse gas emissions reduction: renewable resources. end insert

begin delete

Under existing law, the Public Utilities Commission has regulatory authority over public utilities, including electrical corporations, as defined. The

end delete

begin insert The end insert Public Utilities Act requires the Public Utilities Commission, in consultation with the Independent System Operator, to establish resource adequacy requirements for all load-serving entities, begin delete as defined, end delete begin insert including electrical corporations, end insert in accordance with specified objectives. begin delete The definition of a “load-serving entity” includes an electrical corporation. end delete That law further requires each load-serving entity to maintain physical generating capacity adequate to meet its load requirements, including peak demand and planning and operating reserves, deliverable to locations and at times as may be necessary to provide reliable electric service.

The California Renewables Portfolio Standard Program, also known as the RPS program, requires a retail seller of electricity, as defined, and local publicly owned electric utilities to purchase specified minimum quantities of electricity products from eligible renewable energy resources, as defined, for specified compliance periods, sufficient to ensure that the procurement of electricity products from eligible renewable energy resources achieves begin delete 20% of retail sales for the period January 1, 2011, to December 31, 2013, inclusive, end delete 25% of retail sales by December 31, 2016 begin delete , end delete and 33% of retail sales by December 31, 2020, and in all subsequent years. The RPS program, consistent with the goals of procuring the least-cost and best-fit eligible renewable energy resources that meet project viability principles, requires that all retail sellers procure a balanced portfolio of electricity products from eligible renewable energy resources, as specified, referred to as the portfolio content requirements. The RPS program requires the Public Utilities Commission to direct each electrical corporation, which are included within the definition of a retail seller, to annually prepare a renewable energy procurement plan containing specified matter and an annual compliance report. The RPS program requires the Public Utilities Commission to adopt, by rulemaking, a process that provides criteria for the rank ordering and selection of least-cost and best-fit eligible renewable energy resources by electrical corporations to comply with the RPS program procurement obligations, on a total cost basis, that take specified begin delete matter end delete begin insert matters end insert into account.

This bill would state the policy of the state to require all retail sellers of electricity, including investor-owned electrical corporations and local publicly owned electric utilities, to procure all available cost-effective energy efficiency, demand response, and renewable resources, so as to achieve begin delete renewable, reliability, end delete begin insert grid reliability end insert and greenhouse gases emission begin delete reduction end delete begin insert reductions end insert simultaneously, in the most cost-effective and affordable manner practicable. The bill would require that procurement not be limited by any targets established for these resources by statute or regulatory decision.

The begin delete existing restructuring of the electrical industry within the end delete Public Utilities Act provides for the establishment of an Independent System Operator as a nonprofit public benefit corporation. Existing law requires the Independent System Operator to manage the transmission grid and related energy markets in a manner that is consistent with (1) making the most efficient use of available energy resources, (2) reducing, to the extent possible, overall economic cost to the state’s consumers, (3) applicable state law intended to protect the public’s health and the environment, and (4) maximizing the availability of existing electric generation resources necessary to meet the needs of the state’s electricity consumers.

This bill would add a requirement that in managing the transmission grid and related energy markets, the Independent System Operator do so consistent with achieving a continuous reduction in emissions of greenhouse gases associated with California’s electrical system sufficient to achieve the state policy goal for begin delete 2050 adopted by the State Air Resources Board. end delete begin insert greenhouse gas emissions reductions. end insert The bill would revise the 4th requirement described above to require that in managing the transmission grid and related energy markets, the Independent System Operator do so consistent with maximizing utilization of existing electrical resources, including all cost-effective demand-side and begin delete clean end delete renewable energy resources, that are connected to the distribution or transmission grid, as are necessary for reliable operation of the grid and sufficient to meet the needs of the state’s electricity consumers. begin delete The bill would require the Independent System Operator, in its annual transmission planning process, to identify the maximum amount of preferred resources capable, in conjunction with installation of nongenerating electrical equipment, of meeting local resource adequacy and system operating needs. end delete

The Public Utilities Act requires the Public Utilities Commission to review and adopt a procurement plan for each electrical corporation in accordance with specified elements, incentive mechanisms, and objectives. The act requires that an electrical corporation’s proposed procurement plan include certain elements, including a showing that the electrical corporation will first meet its unmet needs through all available energy efficiency and demand reduction resources that are cost effective, reliable, and feasible. The act requires the Public Utilities Commission, in consultation with the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission, to identify all potentially achievable cost-effective electricity efficiency savings and to establish efficiency targets for electrical corporations to achieve pursuant to their procurement plan.

Existing law requires that each local publicly owned electric utility, as defined, serving end-use customers prudently plan for and procure resources that are adequate to meet its planning reserve margin and peak demand and operating reserves, sufficient to provide reliable electric service to its customers. Existing law additionally requires the local publicly owned electric utility, upon request, to provide the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission with any information the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission determines is necessary to evaluate the progress made by the local publicly owned electric utility in meeting those planning requirements, and requires the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission to report the progress made by each local publicly owned electric utility to the Legislature, to be included in an integrated energy policy report, as specified. Existing law requires an electrical corporation or local publicly owned electric utility, as defined, to adopt certain strategies in a long-term plan or a procurement plan, as applicable, to achieve efficiency in the use of fossil fuels and to address carbon emissions, as specified.

This bill would require electrical corporations to procure all available cost-effective energy efficiency, demand response, and renewable energy begin delete resources so as to simultaneously achieve the goals of renewable resource development, reductions in emissions of greenhouse gases, and sustain system reliability in the most cost-effective and affordable manner and would provide that this procurement is not limited by any targets established for these resources by statute or regulatory decision. end delete begin insert resources, and to consider procuring available cost-effective energy storage technologies. end insert The bill would require the Public Utilities Commission to continue to establish efficiency targets for an electrical corporation pursuant to the utility’s procurement plan. The bill would require an electrical corporation, in a long-term plan, or local publicly owned electric utility, in a procurement plan, to adopt a long-term procurement strategy begin delete to achieve a target of procuring 51% of its electricity products from eligible renewable energy resources by December 31, 2030, and end delete to achieve the begin delete 2050 end delete begin insert 2030 end insert goal for reducing emissions of greenhouse begin delete gases adopted by the State Air Resources Board, consistent with the potentially achievable cost-effective electricity efficiency savings and efficiency targets established for an electrical corporation by the Public Utilities Commission. end delete begin insert gases to be adopted by the State Air Resources Board. end insert The bill would require that each long-term plan adopted by an electrical corporation or procurement plan implemented by a local publicly owned electric utility be updated not less than every 3 years and released to the public, the Governor, and the Legislature and would require that each plan update include estimated emissions of greenhouse gases that are expected to result from implementation of the procurement plan for each 5-year period through December 31, 2050.

Under existing law, a violation of the Public Utilities Act or any order, decision, rule, direction, demand, or requirement of the Public Utilities Commission is a crime.

Because the provisions of this bill are within the act, a violation of above requirement would impose a state-mandated local program by expanding the definition of a crime.
