Bill overview
This bill directs the California Energy Commission to analyze the cost-effectiveness of different methods for shifting electricity demand, known as ‘load shifting,’ to reduce peak energy needs. It requires the commission to estimate each retail supplier’s potential for load shifting and publish annual reports detailing how much load shifting each supplier achieved. The goal is to leverage existing flexibility options, like smart thermostats and energy storage, to lower electricity costs and improve grid reliability, ultimately reducing the need for costly infrastructure upgrades.
