Existing law requires the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) to evaluate customer renewable energy subscription programs to determine their benefits and establish or modify tariffs for community renewable energy programs. This bill would revise the requirements for these programs, specifying that avoided costs include certain values, and impose additional requirements. It would require the PUC to modify the community renewable energy program by March 1, 2026, or adopt a new program, with a final decision by September 1, 2026. The bill also mandates the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission to evaluate community solar and storage projects as load-modifying resources.
