Summary

Existing law, the Public Utilities Act, provides for the establishment of an Independent System Operator, referred to as the ISO, as an incorporated nonprofit public benefit corporation. The ISO is required to ensure efficient use and reliable operation of the transmission grid consistent with achieving certain planning and operating criteria. Existing law requires the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission to adopt, on a biennial basis, an integrated energy policy report, containing among other things, an overview of major energy trends and issues facing the state. This bill would require the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission to include in its integrated energy policy report an assessment of the flexible capacity required by the ISO to reliably operate the electrical system as energy resources are diversified. This bill would require this assessment to include an evaluation of how any change in flexible capacity to accommodate energy resource diversification impacts various aspects of the electrical system.
