Overview
This bill amends California law to ensure transparency regarding ‘decarbonization charges’ associated with energy upgrades. It expands the definition of ‘energy supplier’ to include gas corporations, requiring them to record notices of these charges with county recorders. The bill also mandates that energy suppliers notify successor subscribers about these charges and provide a process for removing the charges once the upgrades are fully paid for. It aims to clarify how these charges are applied and tracked during decarbonization upgrade programs.
