Summary

Under existing law, the Public Utilities Commission has regulatory authority over public utilities, including electrical corporations and gas corporations. Existing law requires an electrical or gas corporation to develop a program, within the electrical or gas corporation's demand-side management programs authorized by the commission, to provide incentives to a residential or small or medium business customer to acquire energy management technology for use in the customer's home or place of business. This bill would require the commission to monitor the incentive program to ensure that savings generated by the program are equitable and ethical. The bill would also require the commission to annually provide a report to the Legislature with findings and recommendations for this program, including findings and recommendations to ensure that savings generated by the program are equitable and ethical.
