Overview
This bill requires large electrical corporations in California to adhere to strict timelines for permitting and interconnection projects. Specifically, it mandates that they file applications within a year of transmission plan adoption or interconnection agreement execution and establishes a process for requesting extensions. Furthermore, the bill mandates that these corporations retain an independent auditor to review their progress, compliance with deadlines, and any remedial actions ordered by the commission, with the commission then requiring corrective action based on the auditor’s findings.
