We sponsored AB 2329, which created a funding mechanism to promote electricity affordability and incentivize electrification.

This bill didn't pass, but it helped set the stage for our current focus on electric rate reform with funding from the Cap-and-Trade Program. 

Passed by voters, Proposition 4 authorizes a $10 billion bond to conserve natural resources and respond to the causes and effects of climate change.

It includes safeguarding our water supply, increasing forest health to reduce wildfires, preventing sea level rise, and building clean energy infrastructure.

As an alternative to building new transmission lines, reconductoring and grid enhancing technologies provide a faster, cheaper way to increase transmission capacity.

SB 1006 requires utilities to study the feasibility of using grid-enhancing technologies and reconductoring to connect renewable energy resources, and to incorporate this research into annual transmission planning. This was passed and signed into law.

SB 308 would create a plan for developing the required Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) capacity to achieve net zero by 2045.

Though this bill didn't pass, our members participated in a lobby day that helped increase awareness of the need for CDR, paving the way for future legislation.
