Calif. Gov. Signs Laws Imposing New Requirements On Retail Suppliers; Also Allows Non-Utility POLR
October 07,2019 Calif. Governor Gavin Newsom signed several bills impacting the retail electric market and retail suppliers SB 520 SB 520 provides that the electrical corporation (utility) is the provider of last resort in its service territory unless provided otherwise in a service territory boundary agreement approved by the commission (PUC) pursuant to existing law or unless the commission designates a load-serving entity other than the electrical corporation to serve as the provider of last resort for all or a portion of that service territory pursuant to a joint application of the electrical corporation and the load-serving entity.
AB 1362 AB 1362 requires the PUC to post, in a consolidated location on its internet website, each load-serving entities’ residential electric rate tariffs and programs to enable customers and local governments to compare rates, services, environmental attributes, and other offerings. The documents posted shall include, but not be limited to, joint comparison rates for each of the community choice aggregators and investor-owned utilities and the disclosures required of retail sellers pursuant to Sections 398.4 and 398.5. This information shall also be available and easily accessible on the load-serving entities’ internet websites. To facilitate such posting, each load-serving entity shall make available to the commission all information about its residential electric rate tariffs and programs. The bill defines "load-serving entity" as including an electric service provider (retail supplier)
SB 255 SB 255 requires that the PUC shall require each electrical corporation, gas corporation, water corporation, wireless telecommunications service provider, electric service provider (retail supplier), and telephone corporation with gross annual California revenues exceeding twenty-five million dollars ($25,000,000), and their commission-regulated subsidiaries and affiliates, to submit annually a detailed and verifiable plan for increasing procurement from women, minority, disabled veteran, and LGBT business enterprises in all categories, including, but not limited to, renewable energy, energy storage system, wireless telecommunications, broadband, smart grid, vegetation management, and rail projects. Furthermore, the commission shall require each electrical corporation, gas corporation, water corporation, wireless telecommunications service provider, electric service provider, and telephone corporation with gross annual California revenues exceeding fifteen million dollars ($15,000,000), but not more than twenty-five million dollars ($25,000,000), to annually submit data in a simplified form to the commission on its procurement from women, minority, disabled veteran, and LGBT business enterprises in all categories, including, but not limited to, renewable energy, energy storage system, wireless telecommunications, broadband, smart grid, vegetation management, and rail projects.
SB 155 SB 155 requires the PUC to review each annual renewable compliance report filed by a retail seller, to notify a retail seller if the commission has determined, based upon its review, that the retail seller may be at risk of not satisfying the renewable procurement requirements for the then-current or future compliance period, and to provide recommendations in that circumstance regarding satisfying those requirements. This bill also expressly requires the commission to ensure that load-serving entities do what is required to be done by their integrated resource plans (which ESPs must file under existing law)
AB 1584 AB 1584 requires the commission to develop and use methodologies for allocating electrical system integration resource procurement needs to each load-serving entity based on the contribution of that entity’s load and resource portfolio to the electrical system conditions that created the need for the procurement
