AB 2266: Electricity: load-serving entities.

Official summary

Legislative Counsel’s Digest (official, as of the latest version). Written by nonpartisan legislative staff; reproduced verbatim.

Existing law requires the Public Utilities Commission to set resource adequacy and resource procurement obligations for load-serving entities, which include electrical corporations, electric service providers, and community choice aggregators. Existing law requires various compliance reporting for load-serving entities.

This bill would require the commission, on or before January 1, 2030, to consider a process to consolidate certain plans submitted by load-serving entities into a single procurement plan, and would require the commission, when feasible, to consolidate certain compliance reporting for reliability requirements, as specified. The bill would require the commission, if it determines that the consolidation is not feasible, to set forth its reasons in a specified decision or ruling.

Under existing law, a violation of any order, decision, rule, direction, demand, or requirement of the commission is a crime.

Because a violation of a commission action implementing the provisions of the bill would be a crime, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.

This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
