February 16, 2023 |
An act to add and repeal Article 10.5 (Section 12100.115) to Chapter 1.6 of Part 2 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code, relating to energy.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 1182, as amended, Petrie-Norris.
Clean energy deployment plan. Energy: GO-Biz.
Existing law establishes the Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz) within the Governor’s office to serve the Governor as the lead entity for economic strategy and the marketing of California on issues relating to business development, private sector investment, and economic growth. Existing law establishes, within GO-Biz, the Energy Unit to accelerate the planning, financing, and execution of critical energy infrastructure projects that are necessary for the state to reach its climate, energy, and sustainability policy goals, including by making recommendations, coordinating between the state’s climate and energy agencies, and cooperating with local, regional, federal, and California public and private businesses and investors.
This
bill would require GO-Biz to take specified actions to align state incentives with federal funds awarded in the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), including that GO-Biz identify opportunities to cofund grants that meet the state’s climate goals, post federal IRA and IIJA grants, tax incentives, or other opportunities on their internet website, and collaborate with state agencies to maximize awards to projects in the state. The bill would require that GO-Biz report to the Assembly and Senate Budget Committees and appropriate subcommittees all identified opportunities by February 1, 2024, and report all awards from the IRA and IIJA, as described, by May 15, 2024, and annually thereafter. The bill would repeal these provisions on January 1, 2033.
This bill would set forth related legislative findings and declarations.
Existing law creates the Clean Transportation Program, administered by the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission, to provide, among other things, competitive grants and revolving loans to specified entities for those entities to develop and deploy innovative technologies that transform California’s fuel and vehicle types to help attain the state’s climate change policies. Existing law also creates the Air Quality Improvement Program, administered by the State Air Resources Board, to fund projects to reduce criteria air pollutants, improve air quality, and provide funding for research to determine and improve the air quality impacts of alternative transportation fuels and vehicles, vessels, and equipment technologies.
This bill would express the intent of the Legislature to enact subsequent legislation that would develop a
clean energy deployment plan.

(b) California set ambitious
targets to reduce the effects of climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030 and 85 percent below 1990 levels by 2045.
(c) President Joe Biden signed into federal law the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (Public Law 117-58) on November 15, 2021, and the Inflation Reduction Act (Public Law 117-169) on August 16, 2022.
