Bill overview
This bill updates California’s Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) to specifically address the environmental review process for electrical infrastructure projects, such as power lines and substations. It requires the California Public Utilities Commission (PUC) to determine whether to certify an environmental impact report for ‘priority projects’ – those approved by the Independent System Operator or related to renewable energy interconnection – within 270 days of application completeness. The bill also establishes a process for reviewing applications, ensuring timely responses to deficiencies, and ultimately streamlining the approval process for these critical energy projects.
