Bill overview
This bill directs the California Energy Commission to develop a strategic plan for increasing in-state geothermal energy generation. The plan will identify suitable locations, establish leasing goals, assess transmission needs, and streamline the permitting process for geothermal projects. It also aims to ensure that geothermal development supports California’s clean energy goals and workforce development, while considering impacts on Native American tribes and the environment. The goal is to boost California’s renewable energy supply and reduce reliance on out-of-state geothermal sources.
