AB 1372: Renewable electrical generation facilities: electrified commuter railroads: regenerative braking: net billing.

California · Assembly · 2025–2026 Regular Session · last verified February 3, 2026

What AB 1372 does, verified February 3, 2026

The bill aims to amend the Public Utilities Code to include regenerative braking from electric trains as a renewable electrical generation facility. This would require electrical corporations and electrified commuter railroad operators to adopt a net billing contract or tariff approved by the Public Utilities Commission. The contract or tariff must apply bill credits for exported electricity based on its value and provide metering for electricity imports and exports. The electrical corporation must also cover the cost of installing necessary metering equipment. Violations of the commission's requirements would be considered a crime, and the state would not be required to reimburse local agencies for the costs of implementing this bill.
