Under existing law, the Public Utilities Commission has regulatory authority over public utilities, including electrical corporations. Existing law requires the commission, in consultation with the Independent System Operator, to establish resource adequacy requirements for all load-serving entities, as defined, in accordance with specified objectives, including that the resource adequacy requirements facilitate development of new generating capacity and retention of existing generating capacity that is economic and needed. This bill would revise this objective to require that the resource adequacy requirements also facilitate development of new nongenerating and hybrid capacity and retention of existing nongenerating and hybrid capacity that is economic and needed. Existing law regarding resource adequacy requires each load-serving entity to maintain physical generating capacity adequate to meet its load requirements, including peak demand and planning and operating reserves, deliverable to locations and at times as may be necessary to provide reliable electric service. This bill would require the commission, in establishing resource adequacy requirements, to ensure the reliability of electrical service in California while advancing, to the extent possible, the state's goals for clean energy, reducing air pollution, and reducing emissions of greenhouse gases. Existing law requires the commission to determine and authorize the most efficient and equitable means for load-serving entities to achieve specified purposes when meeting their resource adequacy requirements. This bill would add as a specified purpose minimizing the need for backstop procurement by the Independent System Operator.
