Electricity: cost allocation.

Existing law requires the Public Utilities Commission, in consultation with the Independent System Operator, to establish resource adequacy requirements for electrical corporations, electric service providers, and community choice aggregators, known collectively as load-serving entities, to ensure the reliability of electric service in the state while advancing, to the extent possible, the state's goals for clean energy, reducing air pollution, and reducing emissions of greenhouse gases. This bill would require the commission to develop and use methodologies for allocating electrical system integration resource procurement needs to each load-serving entity based on the contribution of that entity's load and resource portfolio to the electrical system conditions that created the need for the procurement. The bill would require the commission to develop and use methodologies for determining any costs resulting from a failure of a load-serving entity to satisfy its allocation of those procurement needs.
