AB 388: Electricity.

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

What AB 388 does, verified February 3, 2026

The bill aims to revise the definition of an electrical corporation to exclude certain solar and wind generating technology. It requires private electric lines to be subject to general orders and wildfire mitigation plans if located in high fire threat districts. The commission is tasked with evaluating and establishing a tariff for qualified self-generation projects with a generating capacity exceeding 80,000 kilowatts. The tariff would require the commission to structure rates for qualified self-generation projects to administer the purchase and resale of electricity from generation and energy storage facilities solely at cost. The bill also requires customers to meet specific requirements to be considered a qualified self-generation project and excludes customer load supplied to these projects from procurement requirements for electrical corporations.
