Summary

Existing law requires the Public Utilities Commission to require each electrical corporation, gas corporation, water corporation, wireless telecommunication service provider, electric service provider, and telephone corporation with gross annual California revenues exceeding $25,000,000 and their commission-regulated subsidiaries and affiliates, to submit annually a detailed and verifiable plan for increasing procurement from women, minority, disabled veteran, and LGBT business enterprises in all categories. That law specifies certain categories of procurement that are expressly required to be included in the plan, like renewable energy projects and smart grid projects. Existing law requires those entities with gross annual California revenues between $15,000,000 and $25,000,000 to annually submit data to the commission on its procurement from enterprises in all categories, expressly including all of the same categories as are required for the higher grossing regulated entities. This bill would expressly include microgrids as one of the categories for purposes of this annual submission of procurement data to the commission.
