Summary

The Warren-Alquist State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Act requires the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission to certify sufficient sites and related facilities that are required to provide a supply of electric power sufficient to accommodate projected demand for electric power statewide, and prescribes procedures for the certification of a person proposing to construct a power facility, as specified. The act, among other things, requires each person proposing to construct a thermal powerplant or electric transmission line on a site to submit to the commission a notice of intention to file an application for the certification of the site and related facility or facilities. The act requires the commission, in determining the appropriateness of sites and related facilities designated in the notice, to require the applicant to provide information, as specified. This bill would require the commission to require the applicant to provide information on the extent to which the facility will increase or decrease reliance on underground natural gas storage.
