This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there are no live odds of enactment. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.
Summary
Under existing law, the Public Utilities Commission has regulatory jurisdiction over public utilities, including electrical corporations, as defined. Existing law permits a private energy producer, as defined, to generate electricity not generated from conventional sources, as specified, without becoming a public utility subject to the general jurisdiction of the commission. Under existing law, a conventional power source includes, but is not limited to, power derived from the operation of a hydropower facility greater than 30 megawatts. This bill would instead include the operation of a hydropower facility greater than 35 megawatts as a conventional power source.
