AB 44: Energy: electrical demand forecasts.

California · Assembly · 2025–2026 Regular Session · last verified March 9, 2026

What AB 44 does, verified March 9, 2026

This bill requires the state energy resources commission to define and publicize methodologies for load modification protocols by which a load-serving entity can reduce or modify its electrical demand forecast upon aggregated system operation of behind-the-meter load modifying technologies and programmatic measures. The commission must consult with load-serving entities and resource aggregators to establish these methodologies by December 1, 2026. This will help ensure that electrical demand forecasts are accurate and reliable, allowing for more effective energy management and planning.
