  • Small Business: Small businesses in agriculture and industry may find it easier to access incentives for energy efficiency projects.

Summary

Existing law vests the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) with regulatory authority over public utilities, including electrical corporations and gas corporations. Existing law requires the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission (Energy Commission) to establish a regulatory proceeding to develop and implement a comprehensive program to achieve greater energy savings in California's existing residential and nonresidential building stock. Existing law requires the PUC to investigate the ability of electrical corporations and gas corporations to provide various energy efficiency financing options to their customers for the purpose of implementing the program developed by the Energy Commission. Existing law imposes requirements for custom projects and other custom programs for industrial, agricultural, commercial, residential, and public sector customers. Existing law requires the PUC to develop and maintain rules for custom energy efficiency projects that include eligibility criteria or metrics for determining if a project is eligible for funding. This bill would delete the requirement on the PUC to develop and maintain those rules, and would instead require the commission, as part of the approval of the next Tier 2 advice letters submitted after January 1, 2027, by program administrators for mid-cycle review pursuant to a specific commission decision, to revise the rules adopted for custom agricultural and industrial efficiency projects to replace the commission's ex ante review process with a process that ensures the provision of incentives pursuant to these provisions for custom agricultural and industrial efficiency projects, as specified. Under existing law, a violation of an order, decision, rule, direction, demand, or requirement of the PUC is a crime. Because a violation of a PUC action implementing this bill's requirements 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.
