<p>The bill requires large electrical corporations in California to file an advice letter with the Public Utilities Commission by August 1, 2027, establishing an industrial decarbonization and energy efficiency program. This program will allocate funds from energy efficiency charges collected from eligible facilities (industrial or manufacturing sites meeting specific criteria) for grants aimed at supporting projects like energy efficiency improvements that meet certain requirements. Each large electrical corporation must administer the program, while the Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development is responsible for independent review and approval of these grants.</p>
