Calif. Bill Would Allow Direct Access for All Non-Residential Customers
February 27,2015
A bill (SB 286) has been introduced into the California Senate that would allow all non-residential customers to partake in electric choice.
The bill would require the PUC to eliminate the existing caps on non-residential direct access load over a phase-in period not to exceed three years, with all non-residential customers able to participate in electric choice at the end of the period. The phase-in period shall commence by July 1, 2016, meaning that electric choice would be open to all non-residential customers by July 1, 2019 at the latest
H/T to the Compete Coalition blog, which says that the bill, "has the backing of a broad group of customers and competitive suppliers, more than 40 of whom signed a letter of support for the legislation."
