In plain language

The bill requires San Diego Gas and Electric to energize ready construction projects by specific deadlines until 2030.

This bill mandates that San Diego Gas and Electric Company must energize construction-ready projects within set timeframes until January 1, 2030. It also includes reporting requirements to ensure compliance with these deadlines.

What this means for you
  • Workers: This means workers in the construction and utility sectors may see expedited timelines for project energizations.
  • Environment: This could lead to quicker development and integration of energy infrastructure impacting local environmental planning.

Summary

Existing law vests the Public Utilities Commission with regulatory jurisdiction over public utilities, including electrical corporations. Existing law requires each public utility to furnish and maintain adequate, efficient, just, and reasonable service, instrumentalities, equipment, and facilities, as are necessary to promote the safety, health, comfort, and convenience of its patrons, employees, and the public. Existing law prohibits a public utility from making or granting any preference or advantage to any corporation or person, as provided. This bill would require, until January 1, 2030, San Diego Gas and Electric Company (SDGE) to energize construction-ready projects within specified timeframes, as provided. Existing law requires the commission to establish annual reporting requirements for electrical corporations to report customer energization projects in order to evaluate the electrical corporation's fulfillment of timely electrical service. Existing law requires the commission to require each electrical corporation to retain an independent third-party auditor to review the electrical corporation's business practices and procedures for energizing new customers and how the electrical corporation is planning for demand growth, including new customer energizations. Existing law requires the third-party auditor to report to the commission on a biannual basis. This bill would require, only until January 1, 2030, reporting on the energization of those construction-ready projects to be included in SDGE's biannual energization reporting submitted to the commission. Under existing law, a violation of the Public Utilities Act or any order, decision, rule, direction, demand, or requirement of the commission is a crime. Because the provisions of the bill would be part of the act and a violation of a commission action implementing the bill's requirements would be a crime, this 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.
