Existing law vests the Public Utilities Commission with regulatory authority over public utilities, including electrical corporations. Existing law establishes an Independent System Operator (ISO) as a nonprofit public benefit corporation and, among other things, requires the ISO to ensure efficient use and reliable operation of the electrical transmission grid, as specified. The Public Utilities Act requires the commission to implement and enforce standards for the maintenance and operation of facilities for the generation of electricity owned by an electrical corporation or located in the state to ensure their reliable operation. Existing law requires the ISO to maintain records of generation facility outages and to provide those records to the Electricity Oversight Board and the commission on a daily basis. This bill would require the commission to implement and enforce standards for the maintenance and operation of facilities for the storage of electricity owned by an electrical corporation or located in the state. The bill would require the ISO to maintain records of storage facility outages and to provide those records to the commission on a daily basis. Under existing law, a violation of the Public Utilities Act or any order, decision, rule, direction, demand, or requirement of the commission is a crime. Because the above provisions would be part of the act and a violation of commission action implementing the bill's requirements would be a crime, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
