Energy management plans for harbor and port districts.

Existing law requires the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission to adopt energy conservation standards to reduce the wasteful, uneconomic, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy, and to implement various programs to provide financial assistance to specified entities for energy efficient improvements. This bill would authorize the Humboldt Bay Harbor, Recreation, and Conservation District and specified harbor and port districts, as defined, jointly with an electrical corporation, gas corporation, community choice aggregator established on or before July 1, 2013, or publicly owned electric or gas utility serving the district to prepare one or more energy management plans to reduce air emissions and promote economic development through the addition of new businesses and the retention of existing businesses in the district. The bill would require, if a district prepares an energy management plan pursuant to these provisions, that the plan include specified provisions.
