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.
