SB 541: Electricity: load shifting.

The bill aims to improve the state's load shifting efforts by requiring the energy commission to analyze the cost-effectiveness of various load flexibility programs. The commission will estimate each retail supplier's load-shifting potential and identify the approximate amount of load shifting and cost-effectiveness of each type of intervention. The energy commission will also publish the actual amount of load shifting achieved by each retail supplier on a biennial basis. The goal is to reduce net peak electrical demand through load shifting and to adjust the target in each biennial integrated energy policy report.
