AB 2611: Electrical rates: credits: hot climate zones.
This bill aims to protect public schools and economically vulnerable residential customers in hot climate zones from unreasonable hardships caused by electricity rate schedules. The Public Utilities Commission must ensure that each rate schedule does not impose rates above the baseline rate during extremely hot weather hours. The term "unreasonable hardship" refers to a rate that is higher than the baseline rate during temperatures above 90 degrees Fahrenheit. The bill requires the commission to establish guidelines to prevent such hardships and impose penalties for violations.
