Electricity: load-serving entities
California will streamline electricity-procurement planning and reliability reporting for power providers.
The law aims to improve transparency, stakeholder participation, and regulatory decisions while reducing duplicative utility compliance work.
What the law does
- Requires the California Public Utilities Commission to consider, by January 1, 2030, combining specified load-serving-entity plans into one procurement plan.
- Requires the commission, when feasible, to consolidate reliability compliance reporting.
- Requires the commission to explain in its procurement or reporting decision if consolidation is not feasible.
- Requires compliance-reporting requirements and templates to be final at least 30 business days before reports are due.
Who it affects
- Load-serving entities, including electrical corporations, electric service providers, and community choice aggregators.
- The California Public Utilities Commission.
