Overview
This bill changes how the Public Utilities Commission reports on energy efficiency programs. Instead of producing a report biennially, the commission must now provide an annual report. Specifically, it focuses on electrical and gas corporation ratepayer-funded programs and how they relate to greenhouse gas allowances. The bill also directs the commission to allocate a larger portion of these revenues as electric California Climate Credits to residential customers in hotter regions of the state, particularly during the months of June, July, August, and September.
