AB 1191: California Renewables Portfolio Standard Program: hydroelectric generation.
What AB 1191 does, verified February 3, 2026
This bill aims to amend the California Renewables Portfolio Standard program to expand its scope. The existing program requires utilities to procure a certain amount of renewable energy each year, and it currently includes small hydroelectric generation facilities with a capacity of 30 megawatts or less. The proposed change would broaden the definition to include all hydroelectric generating facilities, making it easier for utilities to meet the program's goals. This expansion would help increase the use of hydroelectric power in California.
