Summary

Under existing law, the Public Utilities Commission has regulatory authority over public utilities, including electrical corporations. Existing law authorizes the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART) system to elect to obtain electricity from multiple sources, including (1) preference power purchased from a federal power marketing agency or its successor, (2) electricity purchased from a local publicly owned electric utility, and (3) electricity generated by an eligible renewable energy resource, as defined. Existing law requires any electrical corporation that owns and operates transmission and distribution facilities that deliver electricity to BART, upon request by BART, to deliver electricity from those sources without discrimination or delay. This bill would additionally authorize BART to elect to obtain electricity purchased from an electrical corporation or marketer, as defined, and electricity purchased through a market operated by the Independent System Operator. Existing law establishes a program under which retail suppliers of electricity, including electrical corporations and local publicly owned electric utilities, disclose reliable, accurate, timely, and consistent information regarding fuel sources for electric generation offered for retail sales in California. Existing law requires that a retail supplier's disclosure be expressed as a percentage of annual sales derived from specific purchases and unspecified sources of electricity and separately identify total California system electricity, which is the sum of all in-state generation and net electricity imports by fuel type. Existing law requires that these categories additionally identify annual sales that are derived from specified fuels or sources of energy, including coal, large hydroelectric, natural gas, nuclear, eligible renewable energy resources, and other categories determined by the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission. This bill would require the BART District to annually report to the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission the information that retail suppliers of electricity must disclose and report.
