Plain-language change summary

The recent changes to Bill SB 280 clarify that utilities must provide local reliability data within 30 days upon request, and the data must focus specifically on the locality that made the request. The types of reliability metrics required were standardized to include well-recognized indices that measure service interruptions. These adjustments are important as they ensure local governments receive relevant information to better understand and manage electric service reliability, which can enhance decision-making regarding infrastructure investments and improvements in their communities.
