SB-836

Existing law requires the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) and the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission (Energy Commission), in consultation with the Independent System Operator, to provide transmission guidance for renewable and zero-carbon resources by March 31, 2024, to help identify needed transmission facilities. A memorandum of understanding (MOU) between these agencies was established to coordinate transmission planning and resource development. This bill would shorten the review and update timeline for the MOU and workplan from every 5 years to every 3 years.
