SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)

Notice to customers of renewable electric power options. Requires the State Corporation Commission (SCC) to post on its website the names, telephone numbers, and available hyperlinks of suppliers of electric energy licensed to sell retail electric energy pursuant to a specific program. The measure applies to those suppliers that (i) expressly state in their applications for licensure, or for any renewal thereof, that they offer electric energy supplied from renewable energy to retail customers and (ii) request in any such applications that they be identified on the SCC's website as making such offers. The measure also requires each investor-owned electric utility to include at least once each calendar quarter in customer bills a notice directing them to the SCC's website. This bill is identical to SB 745.
