No. 2582

Introduced by Assembly Member Carrillo

February 20, 2020

An act to amend Section 2811 of the Public Utilities Code, relating to energy.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 2582, as introduced, Carrillo. Private energy producers: interconnections.

Under existing law, the Public Utilities Commission has regulatory authority over public utilities, including electrical corporations and gas corporations. Existing law requires the commission to authorize an interconnection by a private energy producer upon application of the producer if the commission makes specified findings. Existing law requires the commission to render its decision upon an application for interconnection within 180 days of receipt of the application or at a later time that may be mutually agreed upon by the commission, the applicant, and the interconnecting public utility.

This bill would make nonsubstantive and clarifying revisions to the above-described interconnection requirements.
