AB 1966 California Assembly · 2015-2016 Regular Session

Energy: conventional power sources.

Summary

Under existing law, the Public Utilities Commission has regulatory jurisdiction over public utilities, including electrical corporations, as defined. Existing law permits a private energy producer, as defined, to generate electricity not generated from conventional sources, as specified, without becoming a public utility subject to the general jurisdiction of the commission. Under existing law, a conventional power source includes, but is not limited to, power derived from the operation of a hydropower facility greater than 30 megawatts. This bill would instead include the operation of a hydropower facility greater than 35 megawatts as a conventional power source.
