Summary

The Warren-Alquist State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Act requires the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission to conduct an ongoing assessment of the opportunities and constraints presented by all forms of energy. The commission is required to encourage the balanced use of all sources of energy to meet the state's needs and to seek to avoid possible undesirable consequences of reliance on a single source of energy. This bill would require the commission to convene the Renewable Energy Action Team, which would consist of representatives from the commission, the Department of Fish and Game, and the Natural Resources Agency. The bill would require the commission also to request the United States Fish and Wildlife Service and the United States Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management to participate in the team. The team would be required to develop and adopt the Desert Renewable Energy Conservation Plan to identify renewable energy zones based on renewable energy development potential and environmental, wildlife, and conservation criteria. The bill would specify required components of the plan. The bill would require the commission, in conjunction with development of the plan, to prepare or cause to be prepared, and certify the completion of, a master environmental impact report or a program environmental impact report that encompasses all of the renewable energy resources that may be developed in the renewable energy zones identified in the plan.
