Introduced by: Richard C. "Rip" Sullivan, Jr. | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles | history

SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE:

Electric utilities; stakeholder process for energy efficiency programs. Requires the independent monitor chosen to facilitate the energy efficiency stakeholder process established for the purpose of providing input and feedback on the development of electric utilities' energy efficiency programs to convene meetings of the participants not less frequently than twice each calendar year between July 1, 2019, and July 1, 2028. The measure also requires the independent monitor's report on the status of the stakeholder process to address (i) the objectives established by the stakeholder group during this process related to programs to be proposed, (ii) recommendations related to programs to be proposed that result from the stakeholder process, and (iii) the status of those recommendations. Current law requires that an annual report be submitted by the utility and does not require that it include such information on the stakeholder process. This bill is identical to SB 1605.

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Electric utilities; stakeholder process for energy efficiency programs. Requires that the participants in the stakeholder process established for the purpose of providing input and feedback on the development of electric utilities' energy efficiency programs meet not less frequently than once each in calendar quarter from July 1, 2019, through July 1, 2028. The measure also requires that the stakeholder process's independent monitor report on the status of the energy efficiency stakeholder process, including the goals and metrics identified by the stakeholder group to improve the design, implementation, and operation of energy efficiency programs, and the progress toward such improvements. The measure removes the requirement that utility reports on petitions relating to such energy efficiency programs be filed with the State Corporation Commission. The measure contains an emergency clause.
