SB 1158: Energy: reliability planning assessment.

The bill aims to enhance energy reliability planning in California. It requires the state energy commission and public utilities commission to submit a joint reliability planning assessment to the legislature, which includes information on existing and expected resources, such as renewable projects and electrical grid infrastructure capacity. The assessment must also report on utility transmission upgrades, approvals for utility and independent projects, and the expected completion dates for system and local resources. Additionally, the bill requires reporting on the use of fossil fuel by facilities constructed, purchased, or under contract with the department of water resources.
